Re: other ways of removing GPLv3 components (than meta-gplv2) #gplv3

Oh and: anywhere where INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE is mentioned in the docs,
it must be adjusted to stress that per-image variant of it is a far
better option than a global ban. Also further instructions and
pointers, e.g. to the tests we have which can serve as a starting
point:

For what it's worth, I have eliminated meta-gplv2 from the
infotainment stack (e.g. a major build) of a major car OEM, so this is
doable. It would help if you bring up specific issues that you see and
we try to figure out how to solve them, and come up with a list of
'standard practices'. Even bash has a sort-of replacement in busybox,
which needs to be enabled and played with.
