Whilst I agree with you on the basic fact -- it's certainly not GnuPG's
fault -- I am not in the least bit surprised that a large corporate
(pticly a bank) is using a piece of software written by a large company
they can sue, rather than something that is both libre and gratis.

Corporates don't make sensible decisions, remember.  :o)
