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.
