Yes.

Okay, my concern is with the jbigkit (GPLv2+) dependency of libtiff
(under its own, MIT-like license).  The GPLed code is used to decode
JBIG1 parts of TIFF images.

Okay. Is there a specific libtiff consumer that is GPLv2+ incompatible?

Candidates are:

graphviz (EPL), hylafax+ (libtiff and BSD with advertising), gnuplot.

InsightToolkit (ASL 2.0) might qualify as well, depending on whether the GPLv3 upgrade can heal the original GPlv2 vs ASL 2.0 conflict. Same for ghostscript (AGPLv3+ and Redistributable, no modification permitted).

These are only direct dependencies. Indirect dependencies will need some coding before I can come up with a list.
