I can see the benefit of tidying this up, however I think it's still desirable 
for archiver.bbclass to have the ability to filter the recipes that it archives 
by LICENSE value, so that you can easily exclude archiving proprietary sources 
if you wish. At the moment it doesn't seem like there's an easy way even to 
disable archiving on an individual recipe basis.

Cheers,
Paul
