b2.t...@gmx.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |b2.t...@gmx.com --- Comment #4 from b2.t...@gmx.com --- "-4" for the windows certificate because - It is not free. It's a commercial system, e.g there are companies whose buisness it to sell them. - Companies who deliver them for free do it only for FOSS. but DMD is not fully FOSS. - This system usually just reassures people who know nothing to software but since DMD are dedicated to programmers this is not useful at all. - This system means nothing unless the software checks itself for the certificate at run-time (e.g windows only checks on execution if the UAC is toggled on). Windows certificates are just a trick invented in the early 2010's to steal the money of the developers. The impact on the secutity is very low since this system would have been useful ten years before (early 2000's, XP, the freeware galore, ...) when Windows was still the main platform used as malware vector. I would advice you not to lose time to obtain that DMD, the tools and the installer, get signed. ;) --
