[meta-gplv2][PATCH 0/1] util-linux without python

[Adrian Freihofer]

It's not completely tested because we do not use meta-gplv2 layer.
But I guess it will solve the Problem of this build pipeline:

I think this change unconditionally changes the recipe and means
including the layer adds the change. That will break YP Compatibility
and means meta-gplv2 isn't YP Compatible. I think (but haven't
confirmed) this will break the yocto-check-layer tests on the
autobuilder.

Also, resetting LICENSE is a really bad idea as if someone adds a new
license, this will hide/override it. A remove there may be better too.

Cheers,

Richard
