They are all GPL-ed. Does it mean that I have to fix that someone
else changed kernel API during stable serie?

P.S.: I still do not understand this MODULE_LICENSE() thing. VMware
modules will probably contain GPL tag in next release, but kernel 
hackers refuse to look at these reports anyway (I'm not complaining,
this is their right to ignore these reports; but if they say that they 
are doing that due to non-GPL, they lie). So I think it should be changed 
from MODULE_LICENSE() to 
MODULE_CERTIFIED_BY_LINUX_KERNEL_WORKING_GROUP("xxx says it works"). 
It would match real meaning much better.
