+        Building an image without GNU Public License Version 3 (GPLv3) components is 
+        only supported for minimal and base images.
+        Furthermore, if you are going to build an image using non-GPLv3 components,

+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     1. Comment out the IMAGE_EXTRA_FEATURES line
