Subjectkernel/module.c warning re: non-GPL modules looks wrong

from kernel/module.c:
...
ks = lookup_symbol(name, __start___ksymtab_gpl_future,
__stop___ksymtab_gpl_future);
if (ks) {
if (!gplok) {
printk(KERN_WARNING "Symbol %s is being used "
"by a non-GPL module, which will not "
"be allowed in the future\n", name);
printk(KERN_WARNING "Please see the file "
"Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt "
"in the kernel source tree for more "
"details.\n");
...

but there's nothing in the feature removal file that expands on that
issue. (there *is* an entry regarding *unused* symbols, but that
doesn't seem to address the above.)
