I don't have enough context to know if this matters, but there are a number of
GPLv3 tools, that have LGPLv2 libraries.  I believe this whitelist was added to
specifically allow this these items to be present on the system, as it was a
distinctly different use-case then just the GPL-3.0 version.

(Not sure how relevant that still is.  Is there any documentation in either the
documentation.conf or guide?)
