Subject: License and copyright on 'native' files?

Hi,

Lintian reported several file-without-copyright-information wrt the repo's 
'native' files, like Makefile, README, WHENCE and that'll likely also apply to 
Dockerfile and the various dotfiles.

The Gitlab repo indicates it's Apache 2.0, but I'm not sure whether that is 
correct or that gitlab assumed it was due to some heuristics.
The README.md does mention "in a GPL'd work", but I'm guessing that refers to 
the GPL-2.0 of the kernel itself.

I saw that 'copy-firmware.sh' is licensed under GPL-2.0, but the other files I 
checked didn't indicate the license of those files. And none (?) seem to have a 
copyright statement.

Can the license and copyright (situation) be clarified?

Regards,
  Diederik
