Hi,
If INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE=GPLv3.0 but the recipe sets LICENSE=GPLv3, the current
code won't trigger because they're different strings.
Fix this by attempting to canonicalise every license name to a SPDX name, so
both names in this example become GPL-3.0.
The whitelists also have to be updated. This means using variable names that
could be considered non-standard (or "crazy"), such as WHITELIST_GPL-3.0. This
does look strange and if the community agrees we can take the compatibility hit
I'll change the whitelists to use flags, i.e HOSTTOOLS_WHITELIST[GPL-3.0].
Ross
