I'll attempt to "just drop" meta-gplv2, then. However I see that there are
other dependencies on readline too, i.e. it might be easier to just replace the existing

No. You cannot 'just replace' it, as they are under different
licenses, and meta-gplv2 specifically collects versions under gpl
version 2 only.
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/rms-why-gplv3.en.html specifies:
"When we say that GPLv2 and GPLv3 are incompatible, it means there is no
legal way to combine code under GPLv2 with code under GPLv3 in a single
program." - What is a single program though? Readline would still be a
single program within the bitbake build, would it not? I'm not
"stealing" nor editing its code but compile it as is.
Are you going to ship what you're working on to other users, or is it
just experimentation?
