This is a feature which has been introduced
around kernel version 2.4.1x and tells you only, that
the module does not set it's license policy to GPL - which 
here in fact is wrong, but the currently available version
do not set this.
You can add the following lines to the file ptdrv.c:

Find the line: MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Plustek parallelport-scanner driver");
and after that add:

#ifdef MODULE_LICENSE
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
#endif

This will solve the problem there...
