Hello, we were wondering if anyone has experiences / best practices on how to detect if packages link to a library from another GPL licensed package? We know that there are ways to completely filter out some licenses via INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE. But from our (limited) legal knowledge it is okay to include them in our image, if we fulfill all the obligations. One obligation implies that code linked to a GPL library will need to have the same license (derivative work). Hence we would like to avoid that packages containing our own closed source software link by accident to a GPL based library. Has anyone experiences / best practices on how to detect this automatically during the bitbake build?
