Since the EU is bringing an act , that needs the products distributed to be flawless , and it applies to open source products too , if a single of their contributor / donor works for a corporate , what will be the future of FOSS in europe with this ?

    I wonder if I am developing an app for lemmy and I am based in EU , am I obligated to get an external vulnerability audit done , or pay a 15.million euro fine , since I am working for a corporate with a full time job?

      Without having read any part of this act I’d assume you having a job and you developing an open source app are two separate things unless your job involves developing that open source app.

          I read several different drafts I could find since writing that comment and although it’s alll written somewhat vague in general, OP’s point isn’t in any draft I read.
