We might get away with a mapping of special rules for cases like this.

Something like:

{
  "Apache-2.0": [
      "GPL-2.0-only",
      ...
  ]
}

IANAL, so it's probably a good idea if we can find a way to summon a couple of license specialists here who might be able to help us to build a mapping like this.

Depends on what is meant by compatibility :/ Andrew, lets chat about it in front of a whiteboard?
