[OE-core] LICENSE_{X}-xxx is parsed?

[Andrei Gherzan]

Hello everybody,

Is there any mechanism of parsing LICENSE variables for every provided
package in a bb file?

To be a little more clear about this.

If i have an app named myapp. Let's say the myapp_1.0.bb includes:
LICENSE = "GPLv3 & LGPLv2.1"
LICENSE_${PN} = LGPLv2.1
LICENSE_${PN} -tests = GPLv3

If this app is not whitelisted, this file will pe ignored (assuming
INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = GPLv3) even if the only needed package on the final
fs is the ${PN} package.

For files in these case (like gnults) we use right now WHITELIST. In this
way license checking on those packages is skipped.

If nobody works on this (or this is already done but i couldn't spot it in
the code) i can dig and propose a way to solve this issue.
