Right, I'm struggling to find documentation further than what's in the
code[1] and bugzilla[2] (there's probably stuff in the mail archives
too) but, COMMERCIAL_LICENSE is a blacklist - so you have to remove
items from that list to acknowledge that there are likely commercial
implications of using those recipes.

Furthermore, there are white lists of permitted commercially licensed
packages, to which you need to add the output of COMMERCIAL_LICENSE
recipes that you want to include in images (by way of appending them to
default installation targets in various recipes).

COMMERCIAL_AUDIO_PLUGINS, COMMERCIAL_VIDEO_PLUGINS, and COMMERCIAL_QT

Hope this helps,

Joshua
