(a) If you're asking people to provide feedback and bug reports for closed-source software, you're asking people to help you make a buck without giving them much of anything in return. I find that unethical. I don't find closed-source software unethical, mind you, but if you're going to write closed-source software then, IMO, you need to take responsibility for doing SQA without community assistance. (b) Without source, there's no way I will trust it. (c) The web page asks, "Can I trust you?", and you answer it with "YES!". Sorry, but no. The only correct answer to "Can I trust you?" is, "You need to figure that out for yourself." In my experience, people who answer that question "yes" are usually deeply untrustworthy. (d) As a closed-source product, this should not be advocated on GnuPG-Users. GnuPG is a GNU project, and they have some quite serious philosophical beliefs about the moral evils of closed-source software. Let's respect the GNU position by not advocating closed-source software on this list. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
