I'm concerned by the licensing of
target/xtensa/xt-buildroot-overlay-install, since this file states:

+# Copyright (c) 2003-2008 by Tensilica Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

This one has to be fixed, of course.

If you can, please, simply remove the copyright I'd really appreciate it.

I don't hove a write-access to Buildroot.
