@giacomo @hko@floss.social GnuPG is not proprietary, of course. But the “librepgp” formats that it promotes as an alternative to OpenPGP are “proprietary” in the sense that they are the work of a single person, who happens to be the GnuPG project lead, and have been rushed into production against the advice of nearly every other openpgp implementer.
