They basically defined curl as an app store: "facilitates the download of applications"

    I mean sure, if you ignore the 2 words just before what you quoted. > "**distributes** and facilitates the download of applications from third-party developers". I don't know that I would consider curl as "distributing" software. But as always it depends on how the court interprets it. Full section for context: > (e) (1) “Covered application store” means a publicly available internet website, software application, online service, or platform that distributes and facilitates the download of applications from third-party developers to users of a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing that can access a covered application store or can download an application. > > (2) “Covered application store” does not mean an online service or platform that distributes extensions, plug-ins, add-ons, or other software applications that run exclusively within a separate host application.
