Emails to an Open Source Developer2026 Jan 28un.curl.dev cURL principal developer Daniel Stenberg occasionally gets emails from lost or confused users. Not users of cURL, exactly, but users of tools which include cURL in its project. He says:
As a side-effect of me having produced a lot of Open Source code over a substantial period, and that my code has been used in billions of products and devices, my name and email address are also shown in a lot of places. Usually as a direct result of license compliance when a manufacturer insert for example the curl license in the "About Window" of a car infotainment system.
The emails are usually unpleasant. He includes examples.
