Daniel here. Thanks everyone for the positiveness and expression of appreciation I've sensed here. The threat has been reported to the police and I'll move on. I love you all. Now I'll go back and continue working on curl.

> When some open-source project has some level of reach there needs to be quality requirements and regular security audits. (like they (last?) did in 2016, https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/11/23/curl-security-audit/ ) I think the key question with that is: It all sounds nice, but who is realistically going to pay for it. _especially_ repeatedly.
How about the companies who need that sort of security audits for the software they rely on?

The general demeanor of that person, some of the lingo used like "rooting" or "federal server hijacking", the fact that in the screenshot he's using some text editor with ads in it to browse the offending code combined with the fact that he doesn't know what Curl is (if he did he wouldn't have sent this e-mail) screams "script kiddie" to me. I'm not sure whether this person is actually responsible for a multi-million…
My bet is on GPT-2 (GPT-3 would probably generate better text). This whole reply just isn't coherent (first it's a defence contract, then it's learning software for kids?). So either AI generated or someone with some mental illness.
