How to tell your OSS is ridiculously popular: people aren't 100% sure they _didn't_ embed it, and tack on the software equivalent of "packaged in a facility where peanuts were also present" to the license list.

This watch contains software, so statistically probably contains at least traces of curl.

It isn't MIT/X11 but ISC with "and/or" changed into "and", and the no-advertising clause of the X11 license appended.
