No it wasn't.

I am not sure if anyone cares about exact version of GPL in module
information (2 only vs 2+) since it only used to figure out if the
module taints kernel or not. In fact there are more modules that are v2
only that claim GPL than the ones claiming GPL v2.

dtor@...r-ws:~/kernel/master$ for file in `grep -r -l 'MODULE_LICENSE("GPL")'`; do grep -H '2 as published' $file; done | wc -l
259
dtor@...r-ws:~/kernel/master$ for file in `grep -r -l 'MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2")'`; do grep -H '2 as published' $file; do ne | wc -l
150

Also:

dtor@...r-ws:~/kernel/master$ for file in `grep -r -l 'MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2")'`; do grep -H '2 or ' $file; done | wc -l
68
dtor@...r-ws:~/kernel/master$ for file in `grep -r -l 'MODULE_LICENSE("GPL")'`; do grep -H '2 or ' $file; done | wc -l
237

Thanks.
