As I pointed out to Mickey last week, you can't legally distribute that
toolchain for a number of reasons:

* You use autotools.bbclass almost verbatin, but don't include OE's
COPYING.MIT
* ipkg-utils is GPL, but there's no trace of that fact in the toolchain,
even if you include files from it.

Most toolchains I encounter come with a document detailing the include
items and their licenses, dunno if that's mandatory, but it certainly
would be nice to have.

regards,

Koen
