[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] "
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] I've found how to check the Debian & Ubuntu certs, but not the UEFI cert
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] for example
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] cd /tmp/
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] osslsigncode extract-signature -pem \
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] -in /boot/efi/EFI/debian/shimx64.efi \
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] -out signature.pem
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] openssl pkcs7 -inform pem -in signature.pem -noout -print_certs -text
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] But that does not get us closer to finding the time of expiry
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] The first utility above extracts the certificate, the second shows
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] the data there. That includes the date. Unforutnately for us, it is
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] not a relevant certificate.
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] # sbverify --list /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi
[07:40] schestowitz[TR2] warning: data remaining[840592 vs 966664]: gaps between PE/COFF sections?

[10:25] schestowitz[TR2] "When the Apache Web Server project was started:
[10:25] schestowitz[TR2] "The name 'Apache' was chosen from respect for the various Native American nations collectively referred to as Apache, well-known for their superior skills in warfare strategy and their inexhaustible endurance."
[10:25] schestowitz[TR2] Now that the "Apache Software Foundation" no longer wishes to associate with the name "Apache" -- one of the most recognizable brands in the web server market -- does that mean that they no longer have respect for the Native Americans known as the Apache?
[10:25] schestowitz[TR2] According to Brian Behlendorf, the founder of Apache, the original name was intended to convey this:
[10:25] schestowitz[TR2] "Take no prisoners. Be kind of aggressive and kick some ass."
[10:25] schestowitz[TR2] Apparently they (the Foundation Previously Known as Apache) don't want to convey that anymore."

[19:31] schestowitz[TR2] We'll look into it when we are back.

[20:17] schestowitz[TR2] "@ Proof of the pudding,
I do not agree with all what sir Robin Jacob has said, but there is no need to make fun of him as you have done. He is entitled to his opinions and the way they are made public is irrelevant.
The law is different on both sides of the Atlantic, and the CAFC position might contribute to ones general patent monopoly culture, but is of little interest on this"
