Eric,

You're now trying to mislead everyone even further by calling a hash value a
signature. It's the same tactics you guys are trying to use to redefine the
purpose of signature to mean something else. "Correct wording" that you
describe will not be read by anyone who ought to read it; even if it were, it
would be contrary to what most people are used to.

I'm not misleading anyone, you're misunderstanding the utility of GPG.

At least try to answer one question: find me a major OSS project that has a
policy disclaiming authenticity and non-repudiation of the code signed
by their
GPG signatures, and claiming only integrity must be verified. You and
Jeremy and
others keep ignoring the questions I ask and try to find nonexistent
gaps in my
logic, and that's not how I like the discussions to be held.

See my other e-mail for a nice concise listing plus snippets (includes
Fedora and SaMBa projects, which I consider 'major OSS project's). :)

If you have anything else to say, I'm listening. Playing games with
words is not
the best use of my time as well as yours.

No one here is playing games with words.
