I think Cantrill goes against strawmen here. Obviously, Illumos is not a work derived from KVM. But loading the KVM module into it may very well generate a derived work. If you buy into that, they are giving their customers a copyright-infringement kit. Either you put them on the hook for that (it works for bittorrent trackers...) or just go directly after their customers.

The GPL2 is a distribution license, not a EULA. What you can do with the source is not regulated at all, unless you distribute the result. So could you please tell us what part of the copyright a user infringes upon by inserting a module?
Now, giving away a running laptop with the KVM may well be infingment, but it seems like a marginal case...
