Thats that the copyright in the binary modules not beeing specified. Newer 
driver versions have that fixed. The source files itself all carry the GPL 
notice and it's even in the head of the top README.

You must a quite old version of the driver that you get the kernel taint 
message. The oldest version if have arround is 20011217 and it already has 
'MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");' all over the place (or maybe it's a patched 
version).
