Yep, I know curl is not mac-only :)  I thought it came from the mac
side of things though, but I guess I was wrong.  Wget prolly didn't
have mac support until the BSD basis, so I think that is where I got
my memory.  In other words, I believe that early (pre OS X) Macs had
cURL but not Wget.

Curl is copyrighted by the author only, not any umbrella org.
Wget is GPL'ed!

See:
http://daniel.haxx.se/docs/curl-vs-wget.html (by cURL's author)
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget

My main notes:
curl is bi-directional, wget is down-only, but see wput also
wget is command-line only, no libs to call it from, whereas curl
offers many libs

Happy hacking!

Ben
