These are the licenses accepted by the kernel listed in include/linux/module.h so I wanted to keep it in kernel class:


/*
 * The following license idents are currently accepted as indicating
 * free software modules
 *
 *      "GPL"                           [GNU Public License v2 or later]
 *      "GPL v2"                        [GNU Public License v2]
 *      "GPL and additional rights"     [GNU Public License v2 rights and more]
 *      "Dual BSD/GPL"                  [GNU Public License v2 or BSD license choice]
 *      "Dual MIT/GPL"                  [GNU Public License v2 or MIT license choice]
 *      "Dual MPL/GPL"                  [GNU Public License v2 or Mozilla license choice]
 *
 * The following other idents are available
 *
 *      "Proprietary"                   [Non free products]
 *

I don't know if we want to support all licenses if the kernel does not.
