Ehmm?? I never took the time to inform in-depth myself about that. Maybe
this is the answer to why I never receive trac-notifications from
grass-trac? (The university of Freiburg accepts only e-mails from valid
addresses. Is this the reason, or am I touching completely different
issues?)

Aren't there any certification authorities similar to the creative/
scientific commons organization(s) [1][2]?

Aren't there free & valid certificates [3]? I have really no idea on the
issue (drawbacks, important details, etc.). There is also a discussion
about "Is It Time For an Open Source Certificate Authority?" [4].

With today's overload of information things are frequently too complex
to cope with.
