Yes, the problem seems to be that the property-entry-test is turned on
when CONFIG_KUNIT is y or m.

obj-$(CONFIG_KUNIT) += property-entry-test.o

It seems we can fix it just by adding the missing MODULE_LICENSE, but
I think there is a bigger question of whether we should let people do
this. Do we want to just let people have their tests run whenever
CONFIG_KUNIT is enabled? I am inclined to think no. It should be
possible for people to run their test and their test only.
