Note that there is already a test for gpl3-free images in
meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/incompatible_lic.py

Currently minimal and full-cmdline images are tested (the latter with
PACKAGECONFIG_remove tweaks to drop gpl3 stuff that is directly pulled in),
so a similar test configuration could be added for sato.
