Let me ask it this way: suppose you used ASP instead.  As I understand
ASP, it's like PHP except it's proprietary.  Would ASP's license be a
problem?

Maybe you're using "the server" to encompass too much.  If I have an
Apache-based web site, then the web server is Apache.  If I have a
Python CGI script that the Apache server runs, the CGI script is not
"the server"--it's an application running under the server.  It would
not be affected by the GPL if Apache used the GPL.  Karrigell scripts
seem to me to work out about the same way.
