The problem with whitelisting is that if the usage changes from the
assumptions the whitelisting was originally made on, this will not
automatically remove the whitelisting -- if whitlisting is the solution
here, it needs to be left to the Yocto users to do it locally based on
their own review of the situation.

I think to handle this scenario properly, you would need two sets of
license controls, one for 'build tools' and one for 'things that ship'.
