IT may not want to provide exceptions. Do we need to code sign something? I found [Comodo](https://www.clickssl.net/cheap-code-signing-certificates) at USD $55/year. Is there anything cheaper? I would consider contributing this, if...

Certum [offers](https://shop.certum.eu/data-safety/code-signing-certificates.html?product_list_order=price) Open Source code signing certs for $25 Euros/year. Will this work?
