Nunit is open source and the source is hosted on sourceforge. The NUnit
project provides a signing key (nunit.snk) as part of the source release.
The hosted build that publishes the binary release uses this key to sign the
assemblies. You can use the provided key for your own 'bug fix' builds from
the source, or you can use a different key, or you can remove the key
altogether. Publishing signed assemblies does not prevent you from modifying
the source. 


Signing assemblies increase the value of binary releases by creating a
broader usage context.
