So, here's a patch that implements EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE(). It

The wording and intent here are incorrect.
All kernel modules are already *GPL licensed*,
whether the authors think so or not.
So this patch (if it goes through), should be reworded
so as not to muddy those waters (as the above excerpt does).
Care to provide some text that you feel will be better?
Just something simple, like this rewording of your original post:

...kernel modules that don't include MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") in the source.
