__module_license needs to be static. Otherwise we get problems when MODULE_LICENSE() is used in two objects which are linked into the same module. Given the legal requirements for copyright etc., I expect people to put MODULE_LICENSE in every source file, not just one.
What do you need for licence support in modutils? Obviously modinfo needs to print it, but what about insmod? Should insmod issue warning messages for proprietary modules? What about ksymoops? IOW, what was the reason for adding MODULE_LICENSE?
