If you have any hardware that requires proprietary drivers/firmware, this software will let you know that. My guess is that your system does have such hardware, and its popping up to tell you, although I would have thought it was only supposed to show a notification, not actually bring up a window.

I suggest having a look at the bugs for this package, located here: http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bugs to see if you can find a bug about this issue. If you can't find one, I suggest you file a bug explaining the problem you are having.
