This has nothing to do with tethering, but is a different situation than what you are referring to, and is completely legal.
His second question is about configuring a proxy IN the kindle. How is that NOT tethering?

EDIT: I realize that configuring a kindle to use the host PCs internet is also technically called "tethering", but then what is the OP's second question about installing a gateway in the kindle to be used for? A gateway IN the kindle can be used for the popular "theft of 3G" kind of tethering, if used on a kindle with 3G.

I am just trying to clear things up here and warn of potential abuse situations, but apparently I am only making it more confusing. Sorry.
