I believe the concept of meta-gplv2 is broken. We don't want to
maintain old versions of the software in a clean room style environment

move on?
We'd be better off looking at replacing these components with others
with acceptable licensing, as Alex recently demonstrated in OE-Core.
I agree. The bulk of the software in there is *old*. I hope that the
intesection of "I'm releasing a commercial product, GPLv3 is forbidden"
and "I'm releasing a commercial product but don't care the software I'm
shipping is a decade old" is pretty small.
How much actually breaks without meta-gpl2 now?
