But the author’s point is that the law as written, would apply to open source as well. It would create liability for open source contributors even if they have no business relationship to those using this software. That seems bad and it seems like it would greatly benefit deeply pocketed private software companies.
- hwbunny 3y agoYeah, but it won't.
- blackeyeblitzar 3y agoCould you explain why? Are they reading the law incorrectly? Or are you just speculating that in practice it won’t be enforced against open source software even though the law would allow that enforcement?
- whatevaa 3y agoPretty sure they're just "sure" nothing bad will happen. I mean, if they're wrong what will happen to them? Nothing. Might as well say random bullshit.
