soften (permit circumventing) license approval

Release notes

Problem to solve

Although this is not critical, it would be a great convenience for us since less people will be asking me why a license check is required (I've already received ~5 developers asking me this and anticipate more) even though we've communicated this out to the team. It's confusing for many, and would also prevent all the license approvers from getting many items added to their to-do list. Since becoming one of the license approvers, I have thousands of to-do list items over the course of a month, and essentially all of them are related to optional license approvals. It would be helpful if there's some way to filter out or disable those type of to-do items, so that I can more effectively find items that are relevant to me.

Should we permit the license check (mr approval) to be circumvented as an OPTION (default to off)
