Hello team,

I am trying to build yocto image without GPLv3 package, I have added below
things in local.conf and enable meta-gplv2 layer.

INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPL-3.0 LGPL-3.0 AGPL-3. 0" in local.conf.

After verifying from package.manifest and license.manifest file in
build/tmp/deploy/license/ directory I observe that no GPLv3 package is
present in rootfs.

But I can see in
rootfs/usr/share/common-license/package/libgcrypt-lic/recipeinfo

LICENSE: GPLV2+ &LGPLV2.1+ &GPLV3+
PR: r0
PV : 1.8.4

Is present..

My doubt is why any GPLv3 is present in common-license directory?

Randomly picking libassuan:

LICENSE_${PN} = "LGPLv2.1+"

The library itself is LGPL-2.  Have you verified the *package*
licenses for what is actually going into the image?
