I'm trying to avoid flame wars too, but my take on this is that Kent's
reading is a little too restrictive and the GPL isn't really a problem
in this situation unless he's actually modifying Karrigell itself,
rather than writing applications that run under it.  I'm not trying to
advocate Karrigell (I browsed the docs for a minute and it looks nice
but I have no experience with it) but I don't see the GPL as an
obstacle to that type of usage.  All kinds of proprietary applications
are written and distributed all the time to run under the GPL'd Linux
kernel and Karrigell apps don't seem too terribly different from that.
