Developer certificates on Symbian Series 60 v3
I have a really bad feeling about the signing process for Series 60 phones. If someone wants to create an OpenSource application for Sybian Series 60 mobile phones that is capable to make use of network access or using DRM functions then the signing process requires my IMEI address. The IMEI address is a unique product identifier.

I'm asking OpenSource developers to develop an alternative to this signature process eg. by using OpenSSL infrastucture to sign the binaries and to make the signature process easier for developers that do not want to pay a recurring fee to sign the own applications.
