Daniel was then mistaken as a creator of that software, and his email address flagged for any ESTA applications that use it. edit: apparently I'm not the first to think this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14643525 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14643525 [1]https://curl.haxx.se/docs/copyright.html https://curl.haxx.se/docs/copyright.html
