What became of the SSL certificate?

[Evan Kinney]

So the current cert from StartCom has SANs for adiumx.com (listed twice), adium.im, and adiumxtras.com and a CN of adiumx.com.

What ever happened to the talks forever ago about forming an LLC or some other sort of 501(c)(3)? StartCom offers organization-level validation for their certs. They also let you request a wildcard CN as well as multiple SANs, and they're the cheapest I've found at $59.50/year.

GoDaddy offers a free one year cert to open source projects... but they're still GoDaddy. Don't think I need to say more there.

Thawte offers free certs to open source projects (or, at least, they used to a few years ago).

In related news, it looks like SSL is only actually working properly(-ish) on trac.adium.im right now. All the other URIs return an "unknown protocol" error because the web server is sending back a 501 and saying "GET /index.html" isn't supported in response to the TLS handshake request.

Frank remembers this was previously discussed but from the emails (http://markmail.org/search/?q=ssl+cert&q=list%3Aim.adium.devel) I haven't been able to understand what became of the certificates we acquired and what happened since.
