Maybe this would be part
No. In modern configurations, INCOMPITABLE_LICENSE should only be set for image recipes to allow, e.g., GPL-3.0 code to be used in one image, but not another. > of the new meta-gplv2 replacement work (@Khem Raj).

The evidence is that meta-gplv2 is NOT supported for a long Note that readline is GPL-3.0, not LGPL-3.0, which means linking with it directly impacts the licensing of the entire application. And while I cannot speak for others, (L)GPL-3.0 are problematic and should be avoided if possible, and be optional otherwise. Which is exactly what Ross did when he changed the default from readline to editline in the python3 recipe.
