Expected labor that is not compensated is not slavery. It could is rude to expect people to do labor for us for free, but there’s no compulsion behind it. Required labor that is not compensated flirts with slavery. Part of the danger of a software supply chain law is that, as a law, it can compel behavior. So, it is runs the risk of bumping stuff from the “expected” to “required” bucket. > Demanding said labor without compensation, with or without threat of consequences, is to demand the other party willfully submit to a form of enslavement or servitude. A demand without a threat of consequences is just a request. It could be a very rude request. But that’s all it is. Conflating rude requests with compelled actions cheapens the impact of the latter, and obscures what is wrong about the former.
