 > If the proposed law is enforced as currently written, the authors of open-source components might bear legal and financial responsibility for the way their components are applied in someone else’s commercial product. The existing language makes no differentiation between independent authors who have never been paid for the supply of software and corporate tech behemoths selling products in exchange for payments from end-users.

The ruling class fears the uprising of the working class and therefore seeks to control the latter. Control over software is a part of that which is why the EU (a reactionary vehicle of the ruling class) seeks ways to suppress software freedom. It is necessary to overthrow the EU and capitalism to save the free software ecosystem. A socialist perspective is needed for that.
