Well now, that depends on with which curses library Michael started.
While I would advise him to check further first, I believe that the
one by Kenneth C. R. C. Arnold has been released into the public domain.
(Perhaps Ken will comment further.)  If, on the other hand, CURRY
is based on Mark Horton's curses, I would imagine Doug is right.
