Oops, that license is meant for internal/commercial things,
not for open source obviously.  The file started out outside
buildroot, and I didn't notice when putting it in.

You can certainly take it out other than the copyright line.
Do you want a patch for that?

That script is not necessary to run buildroot.  It's only
useful when installing a new Xtensa processor configuration
into the buildroot sources.

Otherwise I don't think the Xtensa port has introduced any
perl dependency, although I can live with such a dependency
limited to the Xtensa arch.

Thanks!
