I can imagine that meta-gpl2 was in fact added in the first place for exactly that reason. NM is a red hat project, and red hat has no concerns for those pesky embedded linux needs. There's no configuration switch to disable readline specifically. I vaguely remember that in a similar situation I disabled nmcli/tui for the product images but kept them in developer images. Updating readline to a gpl3 licensed version is not an option at all, as it would result in a product that you cannot ship. Alex
