It's not a technical bug, but a social bug. It means the loadable module didn't specify its license (I guess another error would occur if the license it specifies isn't compatible with the GPL). According to this post: http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2001/10-2001/msg00135.html, you specify your license in your module w/ an already-defined macro like this: MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); -- Tim Ellis Senior Database Architect Gamet, Inc.
