@duxsco@fedifreu.de @giacomo 👍 It is confusing that two related but separate issues are overlapping here: 1) There is a Free Software codebase (GnuPG), the code of which is not "proprietary software" in the FSF sense. 2) However, this Free Software project is increasingly an implementation of a format ("LibrePGP") that is developed in a proprietary manner, in an entirely intransparent process.
