You're right, e.g. if you are saying the libcups is compatible with
GPLv2/LGPLv2 because libcups is OS-supplied library, then it is okay to
link libcups to my software, if I see it compatible too, because intents
of both upstreams matters. (Actually, I don't see reason for other
upstream will see it incompatible - maybe when they have a policy in
which is said Apache2.0+GPLv2 is not compatible, but I don't recall
there is someone like that)
