MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") not working for me

I have some large drivers for use in embedded arm systems, and I want them to be GPL, because I want to use some symbols exported as GPL, and also because I just wanna. But it is not working for me. I've attached my Makefile. I'm building from outside the kernel tree, but that should be OK. I'm using the following script to actually build:

SE0=/home/u/wing/steve/picturel/SE0

CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

export CROSS_COMPILE
make KERNELDIR=$SE0/linux-2.6.33-quatro ARCH=arm modules

But no matter what I do, when I try to load my module, I get errors line this:

  # insmod ./vidfor2.ko
  vidfor: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
  Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
  vidfor: Unknown symbol driver_remove_file
  vidfor: Unknown symbol driver_create_file
  insmod: can't insert './vidfor2.ko': unknown symbol in module or
invalid parameter

I have a MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); line in the "linux.c" source file, and the pertinent parts of the makefile are here:

OBJ := linux.o ops.o console.o sysfs.o ident_tables.o LIBOBJ := vidforio.o init.o format.o video.o isr.o version.o

  ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)

  EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I$(M)/../libvidforio
  obj-m += vidfor.o
  vidfor-objs := $(OBJ) $(patsubst %,../libvidforio/%,$(LIBOBJ))

else
[...]

What's the trick for getting the MODULE_LICENSE successfully stamped into my generated .ko file?

I've googled the list and the internet in general, and found as many relevant examples as I could in the kernel source, but I'm at wit's end. I'm not subscribed, so please CC responses, although I will check back often.
