It's included in Debian since Stretch under the package name "signify-openbsd" and seems to work well; I've used it semi-regularly as I tend to do a lot of cross-platform things in a mixed Debian/OpenBSD environment.There's also asignify: https://github.com/vstakhov/asignify
As for free GPG-compatible alternatives, I happened to remember that years ago, NetBSD was working on their own BSD-licensed PGP implementation as a GSoC project, but it never really went anywhere. Looks like that finally exists now: http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?netpgp++NetBSD-current I don't know if it's any good or if it can be easily ported to Linux but it could be worth investigating if you really want to avoid GPG, and it should probably be a lot simpler.
