Hi,
an answer from test mailing list.

>From kernel doc

"  1: 'G' if all modules loaded have a GPL or compatible license, 'P' if
     any proprietary module has been loaded.  Modules without a
     MODULE_LICENSE or with a MODULE_LICENSE that is not recognised by
     insmod as GPL compatible are assumed to be proprietary.
"

" 10: 'W' if a warning has previously been issued by the kernel.
     (Though some warnings may set more specific taint flags.)
"
