Christoph suggested that the explicit _GPL_ can be dropped from the module namespace export macro, as it's intended for in-tree modules only. It would be possible to restrict it technically, but it was pointed out [2] that some cases of using an out-of-tree build of an in-tree module with the same name are legitimate. But in that case those also have to be GPL anyway so it's unnecessary to spell it out in the macro name.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
