Christoph suggested that the explicit _GPL_ can be dropped from the module namespace export macro, as it's intended for in-tree modules only. It would be possible to restrict it technically, but it was pointed out [2] that some cases of using an out-of-tree build of an in-tree module with the same name are legitimate. But in that case those also have to be GPL anyway so it's unnecessary to spell it out in the macro name.
