 Tainted kernels:
 
 Some oops reports contain the string 'Tainted: ' after the program
-counter, this indicates that the kernel has been tainted by some
-mechanism.  The string is followed by a series of position sensitive
+counter. This indicates that the kernel has been tainted by some
+mechanism.  The string is followed by a series of position-sensitive
 characters, each representing a particular tainted value.
 
   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.

 The primary reason for the 'Tainted: ' string is to tell kernel
 debuggers if this is a clean kernel or if anything unusual has
