Cool. I have seen discussions about using CVC also for other things. 
Would be cool if the website mentioned those use cases a little?

Unfortunately ePassport and eID has for the last years been the main 
financing for the developers of EJBCA and SignServer. Unfortunately some 
(only a few) large corporations find that it is nice to have others 
developing software for them, so they can participate in the same 
tenders with a low price (since they don't do the development).
This is the main drivers for all Enterprise version of Open Source 
software today I would say, the need to finance the development balanced 
with wealthy corporations (only some) over-using the community.

Cheers,
Tomas
