*blush* It appears I've gotten my knickers in a knot here ... for some
reason I was under the impression that distribution of software that uses
libcurl doesn't require that the libcurl license be reproduced in the
software's documentation - I've reread the licenses and stand corrected :)

I'm again confused, but in a different way. Could someone quickly outline
what I must do to comply with the curl license, to use it in a
closed-source project?

I'm not sure as to the nature of this conflict, and I'm getting a
license-induced headache, so I'll take your word for it :)

I've put a copy of my base64.c replacement at the following URL. I'd be
happy to cede copyright or whatever yucky legal stuff is required to make
this slot nicely into curl.

There's test harness code in #ifdef's at the bottom, testing on FreeBSD it
yields exactly the same output as the routines currently in curl.
