Good thing publishing your projects is deliberately excluded so you're FUDing.

  "Deliberately excluded" is a pretty strong statement for a law that speaks of: > commercial activity, whether in return for payment or free of charge That definitely includes people like me who thought signing up for GitHub Sponsors was a good idea. What's the worst that could happen, right? For all I know it could include projects that accept donations too. Is writing a book about the project or offering screencasts or whatever the same as offering "technical support services"? Is building a community on GitHub or Discord or whatever "providing a software platform through which the manufacturer monetises other services"? Who knows? I'm not a lawyer.

    Just like in similar complaints around GDPR, turns out that in practice the bar for these things in EU is much higher than what US lawyers are used to and scaremonger about.

      Feel free to test those particular limits if you'd like. I'm not interested in that.
