EU wants to HFSP https://developersalliance.org/open-source-liability-is-coming/
Discussion
Answer is simple. All open source code run by an end user is licensed in such a way as to make the end user the creator of the code and responsible to whomever they distribute it to. Maybe this means end users have to compile their own binaries.

Who's building a Nostr based alternative to GitHub? and how will they dump liability on an npub?

Fuck the EU?
On the one hand - fuck this dystopia
On the other - the sun will one day consume our planet and none of this will change that.
THEY CAN KINDLY FUCK OFF.

The conspiracy theorist in me tells me that their plan is:
1: force open source out of the market.
2: force all closed-source companies to install backdoors.
3: surveil everyone, all the time.
4, maybe: steal bit- and shitcoins at will (or at least block their use), from anyone they want.
Can't decide if they are evil masterminds with such a plan, or "highly regarded" and not knowing the first thing about the potential consequences of their actions. It's either or. Nothing in between.
