Hmm, this seems like Greg, not me.

Greg, I noticed this in samples/kobject/kobject-example.c:

 * Released under the GPL version 2 only.
...
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

>From module.h:

 * The following license idents are currently accepted as indicating free
 * software modules
 *
 *	"GPL"				[GNU Public License v2 or later]
 *	"GPL v2"			[GNU Public License v2]

Cheers,
Rusty.
