The Commission is trying to allay these fears. Freely available open-source software generally does not fall under the CRA as long as it is not brought to market as part of a commercial activity. It now explains when such an activity exists. Anyone who sells open-source software, offers paid enterprise versions, or monetizes other services through a program is considered a manufacturer in the sense of the CRA.
Nice, seems like this will end up being hugely beneficial
the europeans are the only ones besides the american gov't w the institutional weight to force the tech giants to behave and i hope they follow through this time.
