Ssl you can have on your server without paying then your browser give an alert but atill no forced to pay for having https... or am i wrong?</p><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>Correct. In the case of OS X you can self sign the packages or not sign them at all, but (in similar way to what your browser does, warning you that the signer is not registered), OS X warns you that the package is from an unknown vendor and requires you do dig into the control panel to explicitly allow the package to be run. For QGIS (and probably applies to other FOSS GIS packages) this results in a really bad user experience where they cannot actually run the software on first install without first futzing around in the security settings on each host you install it on.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>So while it might be less than ideal to spend money on certificates it is far better than requiring our users to jump through unneeded hoops in order to run the software they have downloaded.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Hope that all makes sense.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Regards</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Tim</div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">

The system is very much like buying an SSL certificate for your web site. You buy the certificate from a certificate authority who provides verification if someone asks ‘is this site really encrypted by the people who own it?’. In the case of software you but a signing certificate and sign it, users who download and install it can verify that it really originates from OSGEO or one of its sub-projects. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Tim</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><p dir="ltr" class="">Maxi</p>
