The World’s Email Encryption Software Relies on One Guy, Who is Going Broke (ProPublica)

A lot of attention has been paid to this ProPublica article describing Werner Koch's difficulties getting funding for his GnuPG work. But do note the update: "After this article appeared, Werner Koch informed us that last week he was awarded a one-time grant of $60,000 from Linux Foundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative. Werner told us he only received permission to disclose it after our article published. Meanwhile, since our story was posted, donations have also poured into Werner Koch's website donation page to the tune of nearly $50,000 so far."
