Hi,

There are currently some doubts about out-of-tree kernel modules licensed

using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

Clarify that "Proprietary" means anything non-GPL2 even though the
license might be an open source license. Also disambiguate "GPL
compatible" to "GPLv2 compatible".

Thanks for adding this clarification.

Kind regards,
