[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/openocd: add the eCos exception to the GPL-2.0+ license

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/openocd: add the eCos exception to the GPL-2.0+ license

[Dario Binacchi]

As noted by Yann E. MORIN in [1] only the src/flash/nand/ecc.c file
refers to the eCos license.

The SPDX identifier for that file is:
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later WITH eCos-exception-2.0

The file is part of the openocd executable via libopenocd.la, which being
a static library it is not installed.

Based on this, becomes more natural to associate the eCos exception with
the GPL 2.0+ license, rather than considering it separately as a license.
