There are 2 git repos: openembedded-core and meta-openembedded.

openembedded-core has oe-init-build-env to create the build environment.
meta-openembedded has the recipe for spidev-test

If I use oe-init-build-env from openembedded-core to create the env vars then try:

   $ bitbake -b spidev-test.bb

I get into those licencing issues. 
 
How do I extricate myself from this conundrum?

I tried to build spidev-test using the bitbake recipe:

I set:

... and then tried to build spidev-test:

$ bitbake -b spidev-test.bb

What's this about licences?

  in current OE, there is no "GPL-2.0" license file, there is
"GPL-2.0-only" and "GPL-2.0-or-later" and a bunch of others, so i
think you need to pick one of those.
