(Pretty much quoting my colleague Richard D. here.) Since William prefers to package the dependencies separately,
it would seem quite awkward to sign, e.g. GDAL with the QGIS.org certificate. A general OSGeo certificate would seem appropriate. I assume the same might be the case sooner or later for the OSGeo4W installer.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Best wishes,</div><div class="gmail_default">Anita</div></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div></div><br></div></div></div></div></blockquote></span></body></html>
