I remember Karl as an enthusiastic Debian guy. If there was a problem,
Debian was likely to be the answer. As a person on the .deb side of
the planet, I couldn't help but find that endearing. I spotted his
name on the OpenWrt git log and had a brief email conversation with
him in 2013. I think he was living in Salt Lake City by then.

I only met Karl once or twice, back in the late 90s. He was the first to show me the Ctrl-R (reverse search) function in bash, which I had never seen before. He was definitely a Debian guy and full-throated advocate of fully free, GPL-licensed software.
