Europe champions digital freedom and its open source community.

We only apply security rules to software used in commercial activities.
We are also creating open source software stewards to support security with a light-touch regime and no administrative fines.

@EUCommission If you *really* care about open source, please end Google's use of remote attestation (through Play Integrity) to push open source competitors out of the market.
I can understand that banks and governments want remote attestation, but it should be open to all players, not Google, nor a company cartel.
That's absolutely true, @danieldk, but an entirely different discussion for another discussion thread.
The CRA has been troublesome for open source projects, where there now seems to be some important clarifications to make it possible for smaller open source projects to not break their necks on bureaucratic processes and responsibilities if their project is embraced by various official EU programs. Still there seems to be unclear aspects.
