AWS makes one-time donation of $5000 to curl

The "congratulations" is a bit condescending. AWS clearly benefits from curl. But I guess that is FOSS in a nutshell.

AWS C++ SDK uses it to access AWS. Probably some other AWS SDKs as well. That amount should have been at least 10x and recurring.

That's a bit overstated. Although curl wrappers exist for most languages, they're far from popular or consensual in each individual community.

What's "overstated"? Literally every single API request in C++ AWS SDK goes through libcurl.
