Let's assume we have busybox on our device (that's populated by default by

I heard opinion, that all shell scripts running on Busybox shall be GPLv2(?).
That opinion is very wrong indeed.
If you write the scripts then you get to pick the license.

If and only if the "custom" scripts are not clearly derived from
otherwise licensed work that is. Clearly here means that you generally
can include snippets from examples or existing scripts.
I'm actually wondering how things would be if you include (bash:
"source") an existing licensed work and use part (say some functions) of
it. Complicating fact here is that a lot of scripts don't carry an
explicit license.
