Re: [open-regulatory-compliance] Stewards, open source projects etc

Hi!

While this is a good slide there are still questions it doesn’t answer. I contribute to an open source project and sell services related to the use of that software. I’m in no way managing the project as a whole. There are many people from many - mostly small - companies all over Europe contributing to the project. There’s no company behind the project. We do distribute Debian packages of the product.

Are we all Open Source Stewards for the project? Are we all manufacturers since we monetise from the project by selling services?

Hi Olle,

I find this slide from the recent webinar on Jul 22,  2024 | "The CRA obligations: Identifying the relevant obligations for the OSS community" helpful to suss out how CRA applies (if at all) to different types of open source:



Cheers,
Greg

Hi!

In Enzo’s presentation there are two examples, but both involves commercial companies and/or foundations.

What about stand-alone multi-organisation open source projects? How will they be affected?


In addition, there are discussions about whether projects that *ONLY* distribute source code and no binaries, no containers, are affected. Is source code (possibly on an open repository) seen as a product that is placed on the EU market?

Cheers,
/O
