SubjectRe: MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") not working for me
From
I've attached the Makefile as I have it so far, and I've also attached the
output from make ... V=2. The Makefile is a canonical multi-object-file
module makefile, with some extra trappings for version stamping
and my source code management.

When I look at the object files, NONE of the generated *.o files contains
a .modinfo section, even though there are MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
lines in the linux.c source file.

Incidentally, the source files in the ../libvidforio directory are generic,
so do not include any kernel header files.
