Thanks for telling us about this.

libcurl is very very liberally licensed and the only little thing we ask in
returns for the quality software we allow everyone to use, is that "the above
copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies".

While I get disappointed when I see softwares that make no attempt to mention
that they do in fact use libcurl, I'm gotten so used to it and so fed up with
it to the extent that I don't really care very much anymore. It's not like
they hurt us a lot either, the only thing we didn't get was the proper
attribution hidden away in a docs somewhere that nobody reads anyway.

So, I won't persue this possible license violation. I rather spend my time and
energy doing something useful instead!
