[LUG] Modprobe error....

[Neil Stone <Neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am attempting to load the "usbvideo" module on my machine.. the 
apparently will enable the webcam that i have to interact with linux (prob 
crash it !!)

I keep getting an error the first time i load the module;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.17/kernel/drivers/usb/usbvideo.o will 
taint the kernel: no license
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What the hel does this mean ?? I have re-compiled the driver several 
times.. no joy !! There are no README or help files with the driver.. i 
also can't remember where i got it !! (oops)

The driver does load however.. it is just annoying to have this message 
popping up the when it is loaded..

Also how do i get specific modules to load at system startup ? i want to 
load the usb printer and scanner (called printer and scanner) at system 
boot...

Any help will be appreciated..
