Dear Community,

given recent events we, the authors behind the projects Cassiopeia and
Gigi, do no longer see any good reason to provide our software to such
hostile environment. As auditability does not seem to be the goal and
the legal grounds have just drastically worsened, we decided to make the
following declaration:

We, the authors of Cassiopeia and Gigi,
- Benny Baumann
- Felix Dörre
- Janis Streib
hereby declare, that use of our software within CAcert will have no
valid licence, and any use of it for the CAcert Community, and in
particular CAcert Board, will thus violate our copyright.

As a remedy we offer, to renegotiate the licence once the CAcert
Community proofs following international laws by passing an proper audit
and entered into mainstream system truststores.

Kind regards,
Benny Baumann
Felix Dörre
Janis Streib
(Authors of Cassiopeia and Gigi)
