I'm certain this is licensed under GPL v2
It even says here:
<https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/main/package/network/utils/rssileds/Makefile>

Copyright is not the same as Licensing.
I wonder though: does every code file need to have the license referenced, probably not, right?
I'm not certain how OpenWrt currently handles this.
Oh, wait there are SPDX headers usually:
<https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/main/LICENSES/GPL-2.0>

I guess this is one of the older files that were never updated to a new schema. There's likely many more of them left in the code.
