I'm glad that the concerns of the open source community were clearly heard and incorporated into the CRA. Experts were listened to and being involved in this regulation helped making it better.

As the author states "regulations are never fun" bjt this is as good as it gets.

I'm an optimist and hope that this will somewhat dampen the voices on the internet and (unfortunately) on HN that claim the EU is only filled with near evil idiots acting to destroy European industry.

I guess we will see how it goes next time (admittedly my hope is small).
