Description Paul Eggleton 2013-12-02 12:06:33 UTC 
In other parts of the licensing code, we support mapping of traditional OE LICENSE field values to their official SPDX counterparts via the SPDXLICENSEMAP variable. However, it seems with INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE this mapping is not used; thus, if a recipe sets LICENSE = "GPL-3.0" and INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE is set to "GPLv3" the recipe will not be excluded.

Just discovered this independently, this is pretty broken.
Comment 2 Scott Rifenbark 2014-07-14 07:33:35 UTC 
So, 

I am marking the doc flag as "Yes" for this new bug as it seems that once this bug is fixed I need to go in and change some examples to use the SPDX names?  If this is not the case, let me know here.

Not really, no; we just need the mapping to be done in this part of the code just like it is elsewhere.
Comment 4 Scott Rifenbark 2014-07-14 09:42:20 UTC 
Paul, 

Ok - resetting flag to "No"
