This question was raised before and simply dismissed.

If somebody wrote a procedure in the kernel that exported
some symbols. And that person wanted anybody to use that
symbol, upon what authority does one change "EXPORT_SYMBOL"
to "EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL?" This will need to eventually be
answered.

Cheers,
