It's due to libcurl, noted in STORM-809, and supposedly fixed (in the autobuild repo)? If someone can verify that, maybe you can build it and solve your problem, otherwise you'll have to build your own libcurl to drop in. Another alternative seems to be maintaining your own DNS server/cache, but

It's possible to willingly agree to liability and wave whatever protections you wish that are normally under the GPL, which seems to be what the TPV asks you to do. The issue most people seem to have is that it's not explicit in this regard and it also doesn't make it clear that it is a contract

I would assume that, to be more detailed, your code would either not allow connections to the LL grid, or you would have to decline the updated ToS/TPVp, thus not agreeing to be bound to it but also preventing you from using the LL grid yourself. On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 3:58 PM, Tigro
