In order to get rid of that message (and so that the signature actually
produces any security benefit) you have to give your GPG installation a
means of verifying that the public key it's using for checking the
signature can be trusted to be really Tomasz' key. There are two ways to
do that:

- Either you declare your trust in one of the existing signers on that key.
  Normally you do that only if you know him or her personally or if it is
  some well-known and trusted signing authority like CAcert or Heise.
  Unfortunately, Tomasz' key is not signed by one of the latter.

- Or you check for yourself that the key is indeed Tomasz', by verifying
  the fingerprint:

>> Primary key fingerprint: 0DCA 5A08 407D 5288 279D  B434 5482 2DC8 985A 444B 

  and then sign the key with your own GPG key. This is normally done in a
  face to face meeting where the key owner hands you the correct fingerprint
  and you check his/her ID, but depending on your security concerns (or lack
  thereof), other more or less trusted channels such as a publication in a
  printed magazine or book may be sufficient.
