It would seem I did follow up with a v3 patch and Rusty noted that although
I may be right, its hard to care [0]. But of relevance here is again if one
of the MODULE_LICENSE() dual tags should be used or the GPL tag. I'll
continue to side recommending with the MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") tag even on
files with permissive licenses, and even if it we haven't clarified this in
documentation as I think scaling these tags further is just silly.
