Description Beth Flanagan 2012-03-16 23:50:15 UTC 
At parse time INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE checks LICENSE and if the LICENSE is on the list of INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE then the entire recipe is excluded. In some circumstances, given a recipe with:

LICENSE = "GPLv2 & GPLv3"
LICENSE_${PN}-foo = "GPLv2"
LICENSE_${PN}-bar = "GPLv3"

package foo, while GPLv2 will be skipped, even though it is not incompatible.
