If curl wasn't available the car companies would just implement something similar, poorly. They wouldn't open all their code just to use wget.

- jaxtellerSoA 8y agoThis is the truth. wget would never be even a remote consideration for them. They would hire a developer to write something before using a quality freely available tool that forced them to be open with their source code.
- unrealchild 8y agoif they use the curl binary so they have to disclose their source code? i could see using libcurl triggering the clause...but the cli tool?? i must misunderstand gpl :(
- ska 8y agoI think that comment was about why wget would never be used, not curl.
- unrealchild 8y agooh geeeeez that’s right! thx for the correction
- BoorishBears 8y agoI think everyone is forgetting the 3rd option, someone the team just uses wget and ignores the license...
