title: Yocto: LICENSE="CLOSED"
body: <p>I am attempting to create a recipe that includes a custom python package written by us and sourced from a git server on our LAN. I'm running into an issue with defining the license. There is no license. From what I've read, in this situation these license fields should be used in the recipe:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   LICENSE="CLOSED"
     LIC_FILES_CHKSUM=""
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and this should be all that is required.</p>
  
  <p>Trying to build the recipe gives the following error when the recipe is parsed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES '&lt;recipe&gt;' &lt;recipe&gt; was skipped: because it has a restricted license not whitelisted in LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My understanding is that the CLOSED license should not require whitelisting as it is coded as a specific case, but I have tried adding the recipe to the whitelist without success.</p>
  
  <p>Should I be using some other license in this situation? Should I be using LICENSE_FLAGS? I've tried to find a solution in the documentation without success, perhaps due to my noob status and the steepness of the learning curve. </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help take the edge of the curve for me? </p>
