   Any substantial tools or tools that don't comply the Apache rules for 3rd party code should not come into the NuttX repository at all.  I would recommend https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/tools/src/master/  That is where all of the othter substantial build tools reside, including GPL licensed tools.
   
   That completely alleviates the inevitable license analyss paralysis that you are going to encounter if you are thinking to bring this into nuttx/tools.
   
   The buildroot repository, https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot/src/master/, also integrates with those tools a provides a one stop tool to build nearly all of the tools you need to work with NuttX.  Your tools could be integrated their too.
   
   Those tools may never come into the Apache library but may eventually be moved to https://github.com/nuttx.  Right now, that group is not secured.  We would have to tighten up the security a little better and get some management controls for the repositories.  But I assume that that move will take place in the future when the dust clears a little more.
