Propietary modules can define any symbol, so the
"this_module_is_fine_with_gnus" or whatever trick is used on Emacs and
gcc modules is even less of a solution. I can foresee a propietary
module playing that trick, but changing the name of the module and
creating a name collision with some of the most popular modules out
there is a bit too risky even for the most adventurous propietary
vendor.

So you just decidead that all those versions that allow to distribute
non-free versions of the code are incompatible with the GPL after all?

Today you are in the mood of picking an argument, aren't you? ;-)
