Sure, Daniel + Stenberg writes the major parts, but various people's submissions are + important and crucial. Anyone can post their changes and improvements and + have them inserted in the main sources (of course on the condition that + developers agree on that the fixes are good). + + The list of contributors in the bottom of the man page is only a small part + of all the people that every day provide us with bug reports, suggestions, + ideas and source code. + + curl is developed by a community, with Daniel at the wheel. + + 1.6 What do you get for making cURL? + + Project cURL is entirely free and open, without any commercial interests or + money involved. No person gets paid in any way for developing curl. We all + do this volountarily on our spare time. + + We get some help from companies. Contactor Data hosts the curl web site and + the main mailing list, Haxx owns the curl web site's domain and + sourceforge.net hosts several project tools we take advantage from like the + bug tracker, mailing lists and more. + 2.
