[Kyrylo Polezhaiev]

GStreamer is open source project, so any superstitious man can download sources and build binaries himself.

My 2 cents: the Mac developer program has a concept of « team » for sharing certificates, but each team member must be registered, so the cost bumps up to 99$ per developer per year. For Windows certificates, last time I had the dubious honor of having to get one, the process was a bit of a pain in the ass; you must use a specific version of IE, install various components, and use the exact same computer to renew it later; I’m not even sure there’s a way to « export » it to sign executables on a different machine, but I didn’t look long…

Best regards
Jérôme
