RE: Release candidate 3: curl 8.15.0-rc3

Dan,

Thanks for sharing your insights.

My customers need the "Build SBOM", not a source SBOM. The SBOM must contain
details of the components in the Windows Zip file used by consumers to
install curl.

Per Daniels recommendation I've entered an issue for this:
https://github.com/curl/curl-for-win/issues/81


Thanks,

The curl source is fully marked up with SPDX license tags, so you can
generate your own accurate source-level SBOM in SPDX format with license
information using the "reuse" tool. Just run "reuse spdx". See
https://reuse.readthedocs.io for more information.
