root certificates under free license, RDL

The CACert policy group proudly announces the new Root Distribution License (RDL)[1], which grants the distribution of CACerts root certificates by non related parties. RDL is a free/libre compatible license to allow unrelated vendors and/or distributors to distribute CACert’s root certificates to their users.

CACert confesses itself to interoperability with free and open projects. The CACert website is soon to be updated to reflect the new RDL.
A distributable source package can be found here [2]
