Open pcihon opened 1 year ago

pcihon commented 1 year ago

GitHub Policy is working to represent the interests of developers with EU policymakers as they consider the Cyber Resilience Act. We filed comment with the European Commission to propose several amendments that would improve the regulation. Details available here, but in summary the amendments focus on:

  1. Improve clarity of Recital 10 exemption for open source.
  2. Exempt open source in Article text to improve certainty.
  3. Clarify the intended scope of “Distributor” with regards to software development platforms.
  4. Clarify scope for software components not intended for end-use.
  5. Revise Annex I requirements to apply industry best practices.

We are collaborating with representatives across the open source ecosystem to inform policymakers as discussions on the Cyber Resilience Act move forward. Two such venues for getting involved (you can, too) are:

In this issue, please share your thoughts on our amendments and ways to improve the Cyber Resilience Act.
