See my reply to Michal.

I think that, unless we come up with a new, much simpler way to add
license info to modules, we're stuck with doing the boring checks this
currently requires. And, of course, that new way, whatever that might
be, can probably not just replace the many thousands instances of the
MODULE_LICENSE() macro that there currently are. People being not to
keen on seeing their code being, well, relicensed.
