[SLUG] Kernel module amusement!

I just installed the kernel module which allows us to use a hardware key
for the software we make. This is the first time I have used the module
with the 2.4.20 kernel. After I ran the install script, for the
hardware key, the following message appeared:

Updating modules dependencies
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.20/misc/skey.o will taint the kernel:
non-GPL license - Proprietary
SmartKey driver installed

I laughed so hard, everyone thought I was losing my mind. Heh, taint.
There is just something about that word...
