So some of the meta-intel BSPs add this as RRECOMMENDS to get video
acceleration support under gstreamer:

MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS += "gst-va-intel"

and that adds a runtime dependency on gst-ffmpeg, which in turn uses a
local ffmpeg that does this to enable video video acceleration:

        --enable-vaapi \

but also does this to avoid being 'commercial':

        --enable-gpl \

So unless there's something that requires gst-ffmpeg to be commercial, I
don't think gst-ffmpeg actually needs commercial LICENSE_FLAGS.  What
was the reason it was added now after all this time in the first place?
