If you release TerminatorOS which is an experimental OS for AIs hellbent on destroying the world, you are fine.
If someone uses TerminatorOS and you did not sell it to them, they will be responsible for its use, you are fine.
If you start terminator.io, a startup that sells TerminatorOS powered drones that shoot you in the face, you are not fine and need to comply.
In the same way, if BIND starts BIND.io to sell Bind-as-a-Service, then they'll have to be compliant. If BIND is found to be ran at 90% by AWS with AWS paid employees, they won't need to be compliant. Otherwise, you'll be fine.
Source: this is not the US, European law takes context into account.
- michaelt 4y agoWhat if I've already released TerminatorOS for free and would prefer not to leave my users in the EU high and dry, but I also don't want to start a business or spend my free time dealing with legalese while getting nothing in return?
- ohgodplsno 4y agoIf you are not selling it to your EU users, you are fine. If you are selling it to EU users, leave them high and dry and offer no support. They can still clone it and run it on their own. It's really the same thing as selling non certified products in Europe. If you are a registered EU business, you have to sell CE certified products, so we know that you're not going to burn my house down. If i buy from alibaba an LED strip that draws 500W and ends up burning my house down, it'll be my fault, the seller was in China and i knew what i was getting into.
