Cyber Resiliency Act, the prompt for this thread:

For those who are interested in this topic, I've written a second blog
post
<https://eclipse-foundation.blog/2023/02/23/cyber-resilience-act-good-intentions-and-unintended-consequences/>[1]
on the unintended consequences of the Cyber Resilience Act.
I have also recently come to realize that the CRA needs to understood as
a companion piece to the revised
<https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2023/739341/EPRS_BRI(2023)739341_EN.pdf>
Product Liability Directive
<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52022PC0495&from=EN>[2][3].
AIUI the CRA is the legislation that makes the open source community
/responsible /for the CE Mark validation for all of its software, and it
is the PLD that makes the open source community /liable /for any defects.
I cannot stress enough how damaging these soon-to-be laws are to the
future viability of open source as we know it.
