Nothing. Everything is working normaly.
The message is a bit broken - it shouldn't use future tense, since the
module is loaded and works normally. Just the author did not define
MODULE_LICENCE. And the message actually claims that: "Source of this
module might not be freely available and thus you can't expect support
from kernel maintainers should you encounter bug while this module is
loaded." You can complein the author about it.
