Re: [PATCH 00/17] MODULE_LICENSE removals, sixth tranche

(Sorry about this, MTA delivered a bunch of stuff very late.)

On 3 Mar 2023, Luis Chamberlain verbalised:
Stupid question, if you're removing MODULE_LICENSE() than why keep the
other stupid MODULE_*() crap too? If its of no use, be gone!
I wish, but when I tried it it broke stuff. At least some MODULE_ things
have side effects -- MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE, maybe MODULE_ALIAS etc...

... and also I was getting complaints when I sent a tree out that did
that, along the lines of "if MODULE_LICENSE is the problem why not just
remove that". It seems one cannot win here, both options elicit
complaints.
