"GPL" *and* "Proprietary"??!

How does that even work?

Oh, that depends on the kernel version:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3,19,0)
MODULE_LICENSE("Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY");
#else
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL\0Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY");
#endif

With that '\0' string terminator in there?! WTF now?!
