The warning that the soundmodem driver could corrupt the kernel IS
important. This will be connected with the fact that the kernel
soundmodem driver is depreciated, and regarded as obsolete, with the
current recommendation being to use the user-mode soundmodem tool in
its place.
The warning about no licence is probably a side-effect of that driver
being regarded as obsolete, with the only future patches concerning
it likely to be ones that just strip it out of the kernel altogether.
Indeed, that happened in the 2.5 series some time ago, and there is
no soundmodem driver in the current 2.6-test series as a result. As
Jeremy has already stated, this warning is because of a requirement
that each module state the licence it is released under, and it has
no effect on the functionality of that module.
