What I dislike a bit with this is that we don't clearly differentiate
what goes on the target with what remains on the host. For many
companies, having GPLv3 or LGPLv3 stuff on the target is (unfortunately)
a no-go, so it would be good to make this clearer.
As per your implementation, such license information will only be part
of the "host packages" license information, while libgcc gets actually
installed in the target. To be honest, I am not entirely sure how to
handle this properly with our package infrastructure.
Best regards,
Thomas
