tinfoil: why is he suddenly writing a blog post on how curl is not backdoored? does this mean curl is backdoored but he can't say directly that it is backdoored

  It's a possibility, but I think he had one talk too many during which he got asked these same questions over and over again.

  I was at dinner with Daniel the night before FOSDEM kicked off this year, and he said "I always get asked at some point in the Q&A about whether or not curl has a backdoor in it." The next day, I was due to meet a developer from a vendor organisation I'd been working with, and he came and found me during the curl talk Daniel was giving. Because the talk was ongoing, I didn't really get a chance to say hello to him or anything. Cue the Q&A section. My vendor contact sticks his hand up, and is the first person to be picked to ask a question. His question "Have you put any backdoors in curl?". You couldn't make it up. [edit] I can't spell "Daniel" :(
