From: Bastian Germann <bage at linutronix.de>

toolchain-shar-extract.sh.mako appears to be licensed as GPLv2 only in
debian/copyright. Elbe cannot use GPLv2 only source because it is
GPLv3 or later. Fortunately, the file is available under MIT as well,
which is already mentioned in the file itself. So use it under MIT.
