Curl has two main problems: First it is another
attempt by the MIT/New England crowd to sneak Lisp
into the mainstream (it's Lisp with curlies
instead of parens). 

Second it has a really wacky and mildly oppressive
license. Basically you pay every time someone
downloads your curl script. Here is an excerpt
from their web page:

http://www.curl.com/html/products/pricing.jsp?c1=46

"Our fees are based upon the size of files written
in the Curl content language that are executed on
client devices . . . "

"Our license fees are $0.001 per kilobyte of Curl
language source code executed on a client device.
This includes applets, packages and scripts
written in the Curl content language; but does not
include data or images."
