Christoph suggested that the explicit _GPL_ can be dropped from the

pointed out [2] that some cases of using an out-of-tree build of an
in-tree module with the same name are legitimate.

I'm wondering if we could revisit that idea later, and have a config option that enables that. The use cases so far were mostly around testing IIRC, where people already run their own debug kernel or sth. like that.
