Re: kernel version

["Rupa" <rupa.ramakrishna@ionidea.com>]

Hello,

I have included module.h in my source file. and also i compiled using this
opiton:
gcc -D__KERNEL__  -I/usr/src/linux-2.4/include -c <modulename>.Now when i
try to load the module it throws following warning error:
#/sbin/insmod ./<modulename.o>
loading ./<modulename> will taint the kernel:no licence
iam not able to understand why it is showing this error.

Regards,
R.Rupa
