Along the same lines, there are other open source software modules included in libcurl. A brief scan reveals the following at a minimum:
        inet_ntop.c, inet_pton.c: Internet Software Consortium
        krb4.c, krb5.c, security.c: Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (with further enhancements by Daniel)
        md5.c: RSA Data Security, Inc.

Although all of these can be freely used, it would be keeping in the spirit (and letter) of these licenses to include their attribution and copyright notices in the COPYING file and on the online license page (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/copyright.html).

What does everyone think?
