Looking at the commit history, opkg-graph-deps was authored by Haris 
Okanovic, and the rest by Richard Purdie (included them on the thread).

My take on it:  since opkg is licensed as GPLv2+, and the files that 
have a license in opkg-utils are GPLv2+, make sense to me to license the 
rest as GPLv2+ too.

Haris, Richard, thoughts?
