When redistributing them with their software, developers have to agree with the Root Certificate License Agreement that can be found here: http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/about/media/repository/root-certificate-license-agreement.pdf Developers don't need to sign the agreement, they implicitely accept it by using and redistributing the certificates. My reading of the license agreement above is that using Symantec certificates in a software creates a lot of constraints for the developers and that these constraints are not compatible with using them in a free software -- but I may be wrong and I will let someone else double-check. In the meantime, I told the twittering-mode maintainers about this problem and they will check themselves, hopefully coming up with other certificates. -- Bastien
