I don't think the LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial" should be
used as they've been doing. It whitelist all commercial licenses
inside OE and this is too generic.

What you are asking is impossible. I think you'll need to review each
license and check it with your customer about feasibility of those.
The new EULA also change some aspects which are worth considering and
depending may allow or block a branch change.
