Spyware in gg.irrlicht?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Spyware in gg.irrlicht?

I've been trying out the gg.irrlicht and gg.irrBMAX modules. When I compile the Hello.bmx example with EDT_SOFTWARE, EDT_DIRECTX9, and EDT_OPENGL, everything works fine. However, when I try to compile using EDT_DIRECTX8, the compiled program tries to connect to cfl.microsoft.com.
So why exactly would a program that displays a low poly female model using DriectX 8 need to contact Microsoft?
