## "The EU is finalizing rules that will make open-source creators and licensees liable for any user harm their software might cause"

Either its a bad review or I don’t see anything bad if business decides to use opensource products, makes money off of it and once issue in that product causes their customers loses - this business should be responsible for that
Businesses decide to abuse open source and open source developers most of the time. Maybe it will otherwise be a net good if businesses will be incentivized to pay more attention to open source products they use
If it happens its better for businesses to develop proprietary products than using open source ones… well, then its also good, not everything should be free
You only need to look at Craig Wright legally harassing Bitcoin developers to know that this idea is disastrous.
Good Lord... I feel like a slow boiled lobster.
It's amazing how they always choose the worst ideas possible. Watching EU decisions is like watching a never ending car crash
I could easily see this leading to some weird places. Imagine some greedy plaintiff's law firm blaming a suicide on open-source web software used by some social media platform.
