I was about to apply... but we already have package/exfat-utils/ in
Buildroot. It's not the same source, but there seems to be a
significant overlap between the two. Do you know why there are two
projects ?

License is GPL-2.0+, as indicated by the SPDX statements. No need to
resend a new version just for that.

It is a bit silly that they require pkg-config... they don't use it for
anything at all. They only check that pkg-config is available.

Best regards,
