I've digged a bit more, and VeriSign actually has a license governing

The license seems to violate DFSG ยง6. It also fails the Desert Island
test.
Can we all say:
"EEEEWWWWWW!"
In this case I believe we had better hope that the certificates are not
copyrightable. I don't think public keys are by any stretch.
In some countries (USA and Germany?) lists/databases are copyrightable,
even is single data is not! (phone book, games scores and statistics,...)
