    modpost: detect modules without a MODULE_LICENSE · ba1029c9
    Randy Dunlap authored
    Partially revert commit 2fa36568 ("kbuild: soften MODULE_LICENSE
    check") so that modpost detects modules that do not have a
    MODULE_LICENSE.
    
    Sam's commit also changed the fatal error to a warning, which I am
    leaving as is.
    
    This gives advance notice of when a module has no license and will taint
    the kernel if the module is loaded.
    
    This produces the following warnings on x86_64 allmodconfig:
