The static fines' maximums are defined in the 'Legal Maximums' section. The other 38 pages are not needed. Next time, do read the reference you are sharing. > Anyway, my point was that the fines dispensed nowadays are sensible. The sensible fines of today do not guarantee the fines of the future. The precedent concept does not apply to civil law. When an authority is given free range interpretation power like this, the next batch of regulators can interpret it in however they want. Which is in itself a violation of civil law principles. > ie. distribute disproportionate fines or misinterpret the law, their decisions will be reversed by an appeal court No Open Source contributor will risk getting such a fine, then going through a lengthy court battle to revert it. They will just stop contributing. Good afternoon.
