    so, if a company decides to, for example, start using some MIT licensed software, does that suddenly materialize extra responsibilities for that software’s dev?

      My understanding is that the company would be regulated by CRA and not the developer. However, that does not stop the company from pushing the developer for CRA compliance.

        That’s actually pretty reasonable. I’d be happy to make my open source projects compliant for a company - but they can damn well pay me for the effort.

        Wait? Are we pretending the corps are actually the FOSS devs?

        A Corp dev, aka a FOSS dev forced into societal job creation servitude making throw away smartphone apps, web sites, and now AI models.

        Gets paid to not be a productive person. Is essential what a societal job creation program is. Actually accomplishing anything is a random flaw and not the intent of employing devs.

        The alternative would be to fund the dev to concentrate on maintenance efforts of their repos which the entire world depends on.

        And if you don’t believe me, just explain one thing. What’s the pip-tools maintainer up to? Cuz it’s definitely not focused on pip-tools maintenance

        Would definitely be interested to check in daily to watch what he’s doing. Can throw parties to watch some of the most influential and important people on the planet do the equivalent of digging ditches, refilling them, then doing it again.

          I tried talking to them about the notion of breaking the monopoly of GIT & was talking about Fossil They literally went don’t care “Git is good enough” they’re literally talentless monkeys

              I wasn’t talking about Github, I was talking about GIT itself; <u>Look at these Three</u>:

              1. Fossil
              2. Pijul
              3. Darcs

              The last 2 are Patch-Based & 2 is basically a modernized-version of 3, eventhough 3 is still being maintained to this day & 1 is a fully-fledged Github-in-a-box

              Oh boy I can’t wait for the negative comments about it’s obviois flaws, so let’s hear it

                Have read thru the Fossil web site. Fossil and git are nothing alike. Fossil is not Github in a box. That’s misleading.

                It’s ok to place the key/value pairs merkle tree into an sqllite database AND NOT change the philosophy away from what we are used to with git.

                Fossil makes me more sold on git. I want the PRs, i want to be able to rebase. I want to be able to fork projects away from it’s parent.

                Fossil needs to rewrite if it wants to attract git users. My main thing is portability of PRs and Issues. So when fork a project, the PRs and Issues are also forked. When the original author disappears would be nice to not have to rename the repo, while losing the PRs and Issues.

      No. The FOSS dev would turn around and tell the entire world to go pound sand

      The devs are under no obligations to do squat. Which includes responding to any EU requests.

      If anyone has a problem with a FOSS project, they are welcome to fork the repo and maintain it themselves. And then send love letters back and forth to the EU.

      If anyone is sent a request by the EU, i’m here to help. Some ideas to include in a response.

      Shouldn’t EU be focusing on Ukraine and throwing their males into a meat grinder?

      EU does not have free speech. Why take them seriously? Why have any expectations of them?
