According to http://buildroot.uclibc.org/:
Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches [....]
Buildroot is [...] licensed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE V2
(Or later).
Seems pretty clear to me: the patches are under the GPL.
The question is what happens when you combine GPL'd source (the
patches) with original source that's not under GPL. It seems like a
very legitimate question.
