Great work, thanks!
I'd like to include your certificates in GnuTLS, a TLS implementation
that supports X.509, as self-tests of the the certificate verification
logic. Is this OK with you?
Btw, Gnutls rejected the certificates, we already disable MD5 for
verification purposes. :)
For our legal department, I'd like a clarification of the license on
the data, would you agree to release the certificates under the
following license?

Hi,
Thanks!
I can't speak for my coauthors, but it's all fine with me, though I find =
the year in your proposed copyright statement a bit odd (I would have =
expected 2006). There are no more authros involved.
best regards, Arjen Lenstra

Thanks. Duh, I meant 2006, of course. I'd appreciate if Marc and
Benne also replied.
