I recall that we met at the DKUUG spring conference that year and talked
about who would write a free ssh implementation (back then ssh was
proprietary) and I pointed you to the psst site.  I didn't knew that you
had a free crypto library at hand.

Nobody understands why RMS sometimes demands a CA and sometimes not.
The FSF had always communicated to me that there is no way to do GNU
stuff without a CA except for existsing code like TeX, X11, and Mach.

I announced last year that there is no more need for a CA.  But the
whole discussion is moot; Nettle and Libgcrypt are very different and
there is no need to merge them.
