Description Matthias Schoepfer 2020-05-25 07:30:44 UTC 
Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION           = "1.46.0"
BUILD_SYS            = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING      = "gentoo"
TARGET_SYS           = "x86_64-oe-linux"
MACHINE              = "qemux86-64"
DISTRO               = "nodistro"
DISTRO_VERSION       = "nodistro.0"
TUNE_FEATURES        = "m64 core2"
TARGET_FPU           = ""
meta                 = "master:eb8ae6702aa43e6d7a57bb46f4282af68e3dcd09"
meta-gplv2           = "master:a8da8eb127a56561bf633ab53bec57fb5dbba537"

When using these options in conf/local.conf

INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPLv3 LGPLv3 GPLv3+ LGPLv3+ GPL-3.0 LGPL-3.0 AGPL-3.0"
COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1"
COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1"
LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE = "1"

and added meta-gplv2 as seen above, bitbake core-image-full-cmdline fails with:

ERROR: core-image-full-cmdline-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Package elfutils-lic cannot be installed into the image because it has incompatible license(s): GPL-3.0+ LGPL-3.0+

Comment 1 Matthias Schoepfer 2020-05-28 08:20:40 UTC 
First patchset was discussed on oe-core mailing list, but was not considered 
to be the right approach
Comment 3 Tim Orling 2021-04-29 15:28:12 UTC 
Moving to "unassigned" as Ida's internship has completed.
Comment 4 Frans Meulenbroeks 2021-08-25 11:42:23 UTC 
My suggestion would be to have a -lic package for every package, not one -lic package for a recipe.
Comment 5 Randy MacLeod 2023-07-26 21:21:56 UTC 
Bulk move of 64 bugs to 4.3 M3 after a quick review.
If a bug is actually fixed, please add a commit link and resolve it.
