Basically yes. Note that we regularly find deficiencies in old recipes
as well. It's not the end of the world.

Obviously the one who shipped the product to the consumer, which is
not the Yocto Project :-) It's up to the OEMs or their contractors to
thoroughly review what goes into images and under which licenses.
