   @Rastal GNU has requirements on participating projects that curl will not accept: its license being the most notable thing. Besides, I see no point in being part of core utils. We are better off completely independent.

     @bagder curl should really be adopted by GNU core utils.

     today's heartwarming #inbox:

     I just wanted to thank you for curl. I've used it all the time since I started graduate school and throughout my professional life. I was surprised to find out it wasn't a Linux built-in but a separate project! You are the first person I think of when seeing XKCD 2347.

     Your software has made my programming life easier in innumerable ways, and
     I thought you'd want to hear that. Thanks for making something so great
     and supporting it for so long.
