Hello Mans, please refer to the tests we have for the feature: https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/incompatible_lic.py?h=master-next#n95 (line 95 and below)
The key bit is: INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE:pn-core-image-minimal = "GPL-3.0* LGPL-3.0*" e.g. apply the restriction only to core-image-minimal.
