Koch: A New Future for GnuPG
Monday January 3, 2022. 05:39 PM , from LWN.net
Longtime GnuPG maintainer Werner Koch has posted an update on the project,
mostly focused on the new associated 'GnuPG VS-Desktop' business that is, it seems, going quite well: For many years our work was mainly financed by donations and smaller projects. Now we have reached a point where we can benefit from a continuous revenue stream to maintain and extend the software without asking for donations or grants. This is quite a new experience to us and I am actually a bit proud to lead one of the few self-sustaining free software projects who had not to sacrifice the goals of the movement. He concludes with a request for individuals who have been donating to GnuPG to redirect their generosity toward another deserving project. This is good news; GnuPG ran on a shoestring for far too long.
