Are you running a build which includes GPLv3, then running a build
excluding GPLv3? I suspect doing that could confuse the system a little
but I'm not sure exactly what the issue would be.

If on the other hand you always exclude GPLv3 from a given build
directory, there shouldn't be any way for it to become contaminated.

There are various changes in master which are working towards making the
license checking a build and runtime check rather than the build time
check in 1.1.

Cheers,

Richard
