I can use 'dmesg' to check the log done by my module by a

Hello world 1.


The message

"...:module license 'unspecified' taints kernel"

baffles many new users of linux.

So, this is just to say that I did not specify that my
lincense is GPL or similar. If I had done this the
message will not appear.

Incidentally, some real device drivers produce this log
message when loaded. This means that when there
is a problem with that device driver do not go to
linux developer or the linux list to report the problem.
Go to the supplier.
