module license should be GPL v2

just read the comment above MODULE_LICENSE definition:

/*

 *	"GPL"				[GNU Public License v2 or later]
 *	"GPL v2"			[GNU Public License v2]

 * The following other idents are available

 *	"Proprietary"			[Non free products]
 *
 * There are dual licensed components, but when running with Linux it is the
 * GPL that is relevant so this is a non issue. Similarly LGPL linked with GPL

 *
 * This exists for several reasons
* 1. So modinfo can show license info for users wanting to vet their setup * is free
 * 2.	So the community can ignore bug reports including proprietary modules
 * 3.	So vendors can do likewise based on their own policies
