The code signing certificates that MS requires are ridiculously expensive. It's a cartel of certificate isseuers. It's a downright robbery. We need something similar to Let's Encrypt for code signing.

We (sqlitebrowser.org) have recently started using them for signing our Windows builds.

If it's limited to OSS projects then it's not like LetsEncrypt

Fair point. For OSS projects it's better than the alternatives though. ;)
