OpenWrt is GPL 2.0 licensed. This this is GPL 3.0 only.

It seems to be independent script (right now) but:
1. What if one day we make it share some common code?
2. What about using it to produce GPL 2.0 code?

This may be more or less obvious to some of us but should we have a
lawyer opinion to be sure?

Personally I'm against such mixing licenses in our tools (script).

Also: please use SPDX header to simplify licensing info.
