$0 paid = $0 worth of guaranteed correctness. Paid software = implied guarantees of functionality. As it should be.

- immibis 2y agoWell, the EU recognized this after pushback, but not all lawmakers do! It works out okay to require compliance from paid vendors - if it costs more to comply with security regulations, that will be included in the price. But it's not reasonable to impose requirements on volunteers that way. After the modification, the EU regulation puts the burden on paid vendors who use free software (who can afford to pay for it), not on free software volunteers.
