I think you are quoting that out of the context now; what the quotation 
means is that it is _possible_ to link for example Kannel with GPL'd 
software - but then the whole bundle must be GPL'd. Your quotation just 
tells, that Kannel licence, being a free one, is GPL-compatible and does 
not prevent it being made GPL.

But there is no question about linking: linking GPL'd program with 
another program means that you have to release the combined program 
under GPL.
