Inclusion of CURL License in Axis2/C

[Senaka Fernando <se...@wso2.com>]

After reading through the CURL license (a modified MIT-style license), I
believe we have to include a copyright notice, if we are USING libcurl.
Please note that I mean SIMPLY USING THE API without any copying,
modifying etc. The license is displayed at [1] and I have raised a JIRA
[2] in this concern. The rationale behind making the JIRA a blocking-task
is because this requires immediate attention.

[2] http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-898

Regards,
Senaka

According to libcurl's website they are using MIT/X derivative
license, which normally doesn't impose problem for other projects.
My understanding is this license is Apache 2.0 license friendly one
[1]. 

Ill write a detailed note on licensing in Axis2/C later, Still doing
some reading :)

thanks,
Dinesh
