[Click] preventing no license warning when loading modules for new elements

Hi,

if you are using the Makefile of Brecht Vermeulen to make kernel modules of 
your new element-source files, insmoding the kernel module of the new 
element can lead to a kernel warning:
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.26-click20040810/extpackage.ko will taint 
the kernel: no license

You can solve this by adding the following lines in the kernelversion.c 
file in the directory of the source files:
#ifdef MODULE_LICENSE
MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL");
#endif

Or you can use the kernelversion.c file that comes with the click source.

Many regards,
Frederic.
