How can you find text of license of curl in Toyota? I have friend with Toyota wanted to verify. Or maybe someone in this thread can verify this? Is it somewhere in user-guide?

Seriously how people can possibly think some random email from user guide or whatever text they find in car is valid support channel? It is either completely idiotic or there's something wrong with Toyota information guide that leads to this misunderstanding.

People's ability to not read the text in front of their eyes is amazing. I imagine people click around and pattern-match the e-mail address, without reading any of the text/license around it. I can imagine that for some not too tech-savvy users, most email addresses they encounter in the wild are support addresses of some sort.

Some part of the GUI in some menu like 'Settings > About' probably contains a wall of text of all licenses, curl being near the top as it begins with a 'c'.
