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.
