Boilerplate:

It is important to us that Gpg4win continues to be available
as Free Software which can be downloaded anonymously without costs.
Because we know that this is the only way for some people to get
a software product which enables them to protect their communication.
As Gpg4win maintenance needs to be funded nevertheless, we recommend
that you set the price for yourself that shows the value of Gpg4win.

For use with official documents with VS-NfD / EU / NATO RESTRICTED 
classification https://gnupg.com offers the option to obtain the approved 
GnuPG VS-Desktop version.

Best Regards
  Bernhard on behalf of the Gpg4win Development Team
