I think it would make sense to coordinate our efforts here - openSUSE and Fedora want to distribute the CaCert.org root certs and we are both unhappy with the current terms of distribution.
So, given that Fedora has two classes of licensing (Code and Content) and that these CaCert.org root certs would safely fall into the Content category, we really only need permission to copy and redistribute the root certs without restriction. We don't need the right to modify them.
I'm not sure how their private keys come into this, are they distributing them for some odd reason?
@spot - if you like, I'll forward you our correspondence with the cacert people thus far.
Sure, thanks!
