I can reach out to my company, we are a CA, to see if they'd sponsor a cert? Sounds like folk aren't much interested in that though.<div><br></div><div>-A<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 1:57 PM, Steve Dower <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:s.j.dower@gmail.com">s.j.dower@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

puts their name on the releases (as is done with TortoiseSVN and<br>
TortoiseHG, for example). However, without a sponsor organisation it's<br>
very hard to get hold of a "trustworthy" certificate (which a personal<br>
one is generally not).<br>
<br>
Certainly it's not worth it right now, but it may be for the final 2.7<br>
release, since that will presumably be around for a bit. Are there any<br>
companies out there that check open-source projects for spyware/etc.<br>
and sign them with their own certificate? (Is this a potential<br>
business... hmm...)<br>
