Basically you need to have a good reason why oe-core should invest the time
maintaining both modern screen and ancient screen (4.0.3 was released in
2008).   The easiest solution would be for your distro to maintain a copy
of ancient screen for people who want screen but also don't want GPLv3.
Or, switch to tmux which is BSD licensed.
