Hi Andrew,

That's right, I'll fix it in v2. In such cases, the license text takes
precedence over the MODULE_LICENSE() definition ?
 
I've also not seen any real discussion about this. But when i recently
proposed patches to cleanup similar issues in drivers/net/phy, i gave
the license text precedence, since it is a lot easier for a human to
understand, and it is likely a human made the error....
I would go for this as well, it seems logical for MODULE_LICENSE() to
only be an identifier of what the license described in the license text
is.

Thanks!
Antoine
