Web PKI drama is always astonishing to me because it is one of the only areas of the entire world where a corporation's "fucking around" is seldom ever not followed by a sobering "finding out" period. The various entities that decide what CAs to trust can effectively dismantle any CA business in the world, basically at the drop of a hat. If DigiCert decides to play this game and lose, it would make them the biggest such loser so far. DigiCert is, as far as I know, the largest CA on the Internet. It would certainly send a strong message, and cause a lot of chaos, if the biggest CA on the Internet found itself being removed from trust stores. Yet, there's no particular reason it couldn't happen. How exciting.
Of course, I think that is unlikely, but on the other hand, it's just as cathartic to imagine whatever idiot at DigiCert thought it was a good idea to engage legal here to have the dressing down of a lifetime. I read the thread in question. It doesn't make DigiCert look good, but this action definitely is more damning to them than anything Collan said in my opinion.
