Windows 7 kernel driver signing

I am an individual, not a company. I am well aware that I can test sign a driver and run in test mode. However myself and the other person on the project are interested in getting our module signed.

Question is: it looks like verisign requires you to be an actual business. Is there anyway we can get a signature through globalsign or som开发者_开发问答ething? As an individual developer. Under the windows 7 x64 OS?

Or is it just a big screw you to the individual?

Why not register a sole proprietorship business. Is that sufficient for Verisign, or do you have to be incorporated. In my area, both requite payment, but aren't that expensive. A sole proprietorship is only $80, while incorporating is $300. Of course these amounts are just examples, and will vary greatly from place to place.

The ReactOS Foundation can do it for you under somes conditions.
