One has a couple options here, given that the EU didn’t seem to listen re: certain classes of developers, small software projects, and the like:
1. Ignore the EU, meaning a couple different things depending on what your commercial activity is but likely including not advertising there or applying for a CE mark; if it’s open enough license-wise and someone wants to deal with the EU conditions they can go start their own EU company supporting/updating it.
2. Maybe, along with (1), refusing to sell to anyone in a country covered by the CRA.
3. Just altering your license to prohibit anyone located where you’d be subject to the CRA from using your software.
It’s not the intent of the CRA to cause this but-and they were warned and maybe made some adjustments but not enough-it’s what they’re going to cause, and leads at the end to the same result as this whole discussion (I quit) for different reasons.
