This is stupid. If this becomes law, I don't see how it's even possible to comply. The only reasonable course of action is to hope it will be struck down in court.

"For example, the developer could be an airline pilot employed by a commercial airline (i.e. a commercial entity) – who contributes to open source in their spare time: this part of the policy would make that contribution ‘commercial’.”

PSA: If you're someone who uses, creates or cares about #FOSS, free open source software, please be aware of the European Cyber Resilience Act. It could have dire consequences to the FOSS community. Here a video from @EclipseFdn about the CRA https://youtu.be/AmsM5_5QO5A and a post from #filezilla https://filezilla-project.org/cra.php
