So this means that GoDaddy, Namecheap, Verisign and other sellers/resellers of SSL certificates will need to lower their prices soon, right? Because in a short time many websites won't need to purchase one since they can get it free.
Also, have they built this system with a completely scalable distributed architecture? For it to be practical it needs to be performant.
Also, does the NSA have access to the core of this system?
You can already get free certificates from startssl today: https://www.startssl.com/?app=1
Aren't those only for personal (i.e. non commercial) websites?
