What additional money is needed to implement HTTPS? It&#x27;s like an afternoon of a sysadmin&#x27;s time; it doesn&#x27;t require any more opex.<p>If you have a favorite library or NGO that doesn&#x27;t support HTTPS for lack of funding, I am personally happy to donate an afternoon&#x27;s of a sysadmin&#x27;s wages to them. (Or to set it up for them, honestly.)<p>Project Gutenberg is already over HTTPS, so I&#x27;m not sure what you mean by that. If you think they were strongarmed by Google into it, instead of having decided this long ago as a simple and obvious step for the good of their mission, a reference for that would help inform the discussion.
