I'm sorry to dig up an ancient thread. May somebody deliver a fresh opinion on this subject, considering that the CAcert Official Document (or "COD") 14, known as the 'CACert Root Distribution License' (or "RDL"), and referenced on the Fedora Licensing page [1], and in more details on [2], went from 10-Jul-2010 DRAFT [3] to 31-Jul-2014 POLICY [4], as well as also replaced by itself the now obsolete 'CAcert Non-Related Persons Disclaimer and License', see it mentioned on [1], again. It renders [1] and [2] slightly outdated. 

Moreover, on 30-Oct-2011 to the Talk:[2] page referenced thereof, was added a detailed explanation of how CAcert works and how the CA business works; [and that the] conclusions [were] based on false assumption that the Root is Software.

Disclosure: I am a CAcert Certified Assurer. CAcert Inc now licenses its documents back again under open CC-by-sa+DRP license [*].
