Hi Baruch,
Regarding the use of the CC SA license, it seems to me that if there are 
packages using the MIT and BSD licenses in Buildroot then the CC 
AS license should be Ok also.

If you want to claim that there is a difference between packages that are 
downloaded and contributions that are part of Buildroot itself, then I 
would say that the difference between GPLv2 and CC SA for a Bash script - 
which is not compiled and cannot be linked against, is not significant.

I prefer to use the CC licenses, because they  are simpler, clearer, and 
more appropriate to configuration files and scripts which are not compiled 
or linked against, and they avoid both the heavy RMS idealogical baggage 
and the legal confusions associated with the GPL licenses without any loss 
of rights to the public.

  - yba
