In what way would this be of interest to Buildroot?

Since this is "for OpenWRT", I fail to see the relevance to Buildroot.

This is not correct:
  - most of the files have a license header that do not reference the
    LGPLv2.1, but which I did not recognise  [0]
  - some have a BSD-3c license: avl.c
  - at least one file is GPLv2: md5.c

Maybe that could be made conditional on whether lua is enabled or not?

My goal is to port libuci to Buildroot as I have some software, that
I've written for OpenWRT and now would like to use in BR too. The
software uses /etc/config/* infrastructure to access its configuration
files via libuci.
libubox it a dependency of libuci.

I've also found libuci installation tutorials for Ubuntu :-)

Hm. That's really odd. Should I omit license information for now?

I wanted to start with a simple configuration, as I don't need Lua
right now, but I'll incorporate this feature in the v2.

Ah, I see. Then, please say so in the help text (the one you provided is
not really interesting, as it does not say what libubox does).

It might be MIT:
    http://spdx.org/licenses/MIT

No, just state all of them:
    _LICENSES = GPLv2, BSD-3c, MIT

OK, that's fine. If you don't use it, and so don't test it, there's no
reason to add it. If someone (or you, later) is interested in it, he'll
send a patch.

You're right. I'll post both patches for libubox and libuci. And who
knows, perhaps we would be able to run LuCI especially LuCI2 on BR.
