GnuRadio already installs the required CMakefiles modules globally so
AFAIK, OOT modules are free to use them.

And it's definitely a goal toward things are trending but there are
still some reason to keep local copies.

One reason OOT module would choose to keep a local copy is to be
compatible with older GR. For instance, in my OOT projects, I keep the
local FindGnuradio.cmake instead of using GrConfig.cmake because it
was broken until 3.7.2.1 ...

For some other cmake modules, they're not really "meant" to be used
outside of GR itself. Like the GrComponent.cmake . I know several
modules using it, but it's been slightly modified to fit the
particular need of that OOT project because the default one is not
customizable enough (because not meant for anything by GR internal)
