Hi [name],

I certainly am a lead developer of libcurl, but I have no contractual agreement with either XXXX or YYYY so I do not think I can be qualified as a provider or a vendor to you. In this context, I'm but an individual.

We could arrange for a curl support contract to make me/us a provider.

@bagder What kind of requests do you get? I have a feeling a large number of them has to do with certifying various aspects of the security of the software? How about questions about whether your developers are trained?

@loke in this case someone wants to send me a questionnaire for "contributing vendors". I'm suggesting I'm not such a one. I haven't even seen the form in question =)

@bagder @loke oh gosh, compliance and security gone wrong... "vouch that you'll provide a patched version of your software for any CVE that has a patch available within n time"... but I'm an OSS engineer and have no contract with you, I'll vouch nothing without a contract.

@bagder I somehow doubt you will. 🙂

Did any companies that asked about this ever take you up on the offer for a support contract in order to get the document filled in?
