Hm, i think you should make a (written?!) agrement with Curl Corporation, that
states that Curl and cURL are completely different products, that the
one has nothing to do with the other, and that neither you or Curl Corporation
will claim anything from the other party. You and Curl Corporation should
also add links to your websites, that link to the respective website and
perhaps to a page that explains this agreement to the users.

Bye,
