Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

As it is used, with the average user not bothering to verify the
certificates exchanged and no revocation mechanism, SSL is just simply
a (very slow) Diffie-Hellman key-exchange method. Digital certificates
provide no actual security for electronic commerce; it's a complete
sham.
