Man, there's a lot of references to the ACME client.
"The contents of Your Certificates will be based on the information You or Your ACME Client Software sends to ISRG."
"Your Key Pair (Public and Private Keys) will be generated by You or Your ACME Client Software on Your systems."
"Your ACME Client Software may perform this task for You."
"You may make a revocation request to ISRG using ACME Client Software."
"If you wish, You may configure Your ACME Client Software to notify You of such changes."
To be clear, ACME is a protocol. You don't need the ACME client to get a free ssl cert. You will be able to perform the steps needed with just openssl and curl. I hope this agreement doesn't get interpreted such that you must use the official ACME client to generate the ssl key and make the http requests.
