[$] The European Cyber Resilience Act
The security of digital products has become a topic of regulation
in recent years. Currently, the European Union is moving forward
with another new law, which, if it comes into effect in a form
close to the current draft, will affect software developers worldwide.
This new proposal, called the "Cyber
Resilience Act" (CRA), brings mandatory security requirements on all
digital products, both software
and hardware, that are available in Europe. While it aims at a worthy goal, the
proposal is causing a stir among open-source communities.
