Oops, I meant to add their main statement:

Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit. It is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).

Does anyone here know anything about "Let's Encrypt" by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG)?

They don't seem to be part of the usual gang - FSF, GNU, GPL, Apache, Linux, etc., etc., yet they express similar philosophies. Who are they? How credible are they and their effort? And how does their effort compare to other free security certificates?

A colleague of mine tipped me off onto this, and he especially is wondering.
