Nice to see it running :).  I don't think that installation is running
the DNSCurve branch, looks more like 1.2.0.  For now you have to do an
svn checkout of branches/curve and build from that to use DNSCurve.
I'll probably make a tarball of it next week to make it easier for
everyone.  This week has been a bit hectic for me, I'm out of town in
some meetings and stuff.

Also, since you've linked the http service on :3506, I should mention
that while I leave it public in many cases as well, the prudent advice
would be to not expose that to the public in a production environment.
 At the very least it leaks information about your DNS traffic rates
and query types, and at worst it's yet another attack surface.

There's no conflict there.  The code is copyright Logitech and
licensed to whoever downloads it under the terms of the GPLv3.
Copyright and licensing are two separate things.
