Sorry for the bringing this up late.

LibreCMC suffers from the problem above. However, it also has some files
which have opening comments of the form:
---
#
# Copyright (C) 2011 OpenWrt.org
#
---

No other information about licensing is included. Files include
/sbin/wifi, /sbin/led.sh, /sbin/hotplug-call and the shell scripts in
/etc/board.d/.

I raised the issue in
https://gogs.librecmc.org/libreCMC/libreCMC/issues/31, but it was closed
with the comment: "See $SRC_ROOT/LICENSE. If you have an issue, take it
up with OpenWRT / LEDE."

Does LibreCMC still meet the standards to be included on the list?
