Yes. About two months ago, Alexander Kanavin added support for setting INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE per image (see commit fd50395b in OE-Core): INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE_pn-core-image-minimal = "GPL-3.0 LGPL-3.0" > Regards > Claus //Peter -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
