TL;RD; RDL looks non-free, Philipp Dunkel from CAcert says Debian is fine (to
distribute) because of the disclaimer re the certificates included in ca-
certificates, Fedora says it is non-free.
What do the others think about it?
To me, it doesn't just seem to be a (re-)distribution issue. Rather, the
need for an additional agreement with CAcert.
Cheers,
