Development of proprietary kernel modules is tolerated, see
EXPORT_SYMBOL vs. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. AFAICS, this special exception
to the GPL has never been formalized, but at least overe here the mere
existence of EXPORT_SYMBOL and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL should sufficiently
document intent (and suing you over a GPL violation if you stick to
EXPORT_SYMBOL would be "venire contra factum proprium").
