fully respect your rights

This is [name removed] writing at Toshiba Corporation.

We are considering using your program curl (http://curl.haxx.se/) in our products. Before going any further, however, we would like to confirm the following so that we are sure to fully respect your rights.

I am so impressed. Thank you Toshiba for being this upfront and courteous when incorporating an open source product. The license is perfectly free and open for you to use curl for this purpose, but the sheer act of this “making sure” gets my 10 points for great business conduct.

    Very nice, especially from a big company. I can’t believe how I have to repeatedly educate big company partners about managing FOSS in our joint projects.
