OK I'll try. First let me say I have no interest in a licensing flame war, there are valid 
reasons why an author might prefer one license over another and certainly there are good 
reasons to choose GPL. However the work I do is commercial and proprietary and I doubt I 
could get approval to release it under GPL. So I am restricted to projects with more 
liberal licenses such as MIT, BSD and Apache licenses. These allow closed-source 
distribution of products based on them.

Certainly it is within an author's rights to prohibit use of his code in closed source 
products, as the author of Karrigell has done by choosing GPL and I respect this decision. 
Unfortunately this makes it impossible for me to consider using Karrigell in my work. I 
recently needed a stand-alone web server for a small in-house project that might possibly 
be distributed to business partners or become a product some day. I chose CherryPy in part 
because its license allows this. I would have considered Karrigell if it had a different 
license.
