Exactly, I'm using this in a lot of projects. Basically distro config has: INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE_append += " GPLv3 GPLv3+ LGPLv3 LGPLv3+" and then various GPLv3 tools are allowed in build but not allowed to be part of images: WHITELIST_GPL-3.0 += "binutils" PACKAGE_EXCLUDE += "binutils-dbg binutils-staticdev binutils-dev binutils-doc binutils-locale libbfd binutils" WHITELIST_GPL-3.0 += "gdb" PACKAGE_EXCLUDE += "gdb-sdktests-dbg gdb-sdktests gdbserver gdb-dbg gdb-staticdev gdb-dev gdb-doc gdb-locale gdb" WHITELIST_GPL-3.0 += "rsync" PACKAGE_EXCLUDE += "rsync-dbg rsync-staticdev rsync-dev rsync-doc rsync-locale rsync" etc etc. Use case is that developers can install additional GPLv3 licensed tooling if they need to debug something, but product images don't include them by default.
