Hi, I thought that the following might be of interest beyond the Nominet membership.
Even if you are not interested in OpenPGP SDKs you might be interested in the Trac project-management/wiki/SCM used by http://openpgp.nominet.org.uk/ - I had not seen it before and thought it worthy of perusal. It also seems to use a BSD type of licence. -- ray ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [nom-tech] Announcing OpenPGP:SDK Date: Friday 28 October 2005 10:21 From: Jay Daley <jay nominet.org.uk> To: nom-tech lists.nominet.org.uk Dear techies As you probably know we make considerable use of PGP here at Nominet, primarily for the Automaton. This uses an SDK that is now several years old, which limits the types of keys that we can support. We tried unsuccessfully to upgrade to the latest commercial SDK but this does not support 64 bit Solaris, which is the platform the Automaton runs on. None of the open source alternatives have been suitable, for a variety of reasons. Most notably, GnuPG does not provide a library (see http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/faqs.html#q4.16 for more details). As a result we commissioned the development of a new PGP SDK based on the OpenPGP RFC and built on top of OpenSSL. This development is open source under the Apache/BSD licenses since it is not something that we need to be proprietary. The SDK is now in beta and implementers and testers are being sought.
