No, CE markings are normally for finished products, not components. (in many cases the software is a component). Most open sourced projects are not user-facing

  So, I think this new legislation might be bad, as the distinction between a component vs a finished product is a lot less clear in software, and particularly open-source projects. I'm not sure the lawmakers will consider this carefully.

  No, the regulation explicitly includes components: > For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions apply: (1) ‘product with digital elements’ means any software or hardware product and its remote data processing solutions, including software or hardware components to be placed on the market separately https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/89543 https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/89543

    Oh my, I need to update my understanding of CE markings if it's like this in this instance. This is going to be complete chaos.
