Re: [GNU-linux-libre] CAcert root certificate non-free?

I asked RMS and this is his response:

"If that (cacert) license were on a program, it would be nonfree.
But that is irrelevant to certificates.  So the license
is not an obstacle to our including the Cacert certificate."

This applies to any other certificate and its license.

Still, I will not be adding CaCert's root CA to IceCat or Trisquel as
they don't seem to be very trustworthy:
