Digital Extremes violate the #cURL license?

If they do, that's a shame but there's not a lot I can do. Anyone who can verify this claim? (probably by scanning the binaries for known names or similar)

Keeping track of all the licences and acknowledgements for a non-trivial software product is a large undertaking and, so far as I have seen throughout my career, is at best hit and miss.

Every now and then a customer and/or legal ask for an audit, which drags on for a few months with a few dozen or hundred or thousand documents located, at which point everyone loses interest again, until the next time. Yes you can spend even more money on tools to assist the process, but it seems you can't just switch them on and have a complete database of licences and acknowledgments kept automagically up to date, the tools just aren't that good.

That's at best. At worst it's not astonishing that some people decide they just can't be arsed with the hassle and expense and simply do nothing.
