  I really appriciate the efforts of Eclipse foundation and others. The first version of CRA was devastating for open source. Thanks to their efforts, the adopted version has a lot of clauses for open source, it's survivable. Open-source stewards should be "subject to a light-touch and tailor-made regulatory regime", components are mostly exempt.

  Can someone summarize the impact on say, an open source project with no actual paid release? Is this a case of, if anyone in europe compiles your software, and it doesnt meet standards, you are now a criminal? Or is the onus on europeans to install only certified software? Obviously dependencies go pretty deep these days, is say Package B certifying for itself and Package A. Or is Package B assuming Package A will also provide its own certification? Can you comprehensively fail the certification and have it revoked?
