Comment on All software in EU under product liability from 2026

Comments

EU countries have 2 years to legislate the national implementations.

FOSS exemption but only for "outside commercial activity" - whatever that will mean.

I guess that guy in Nebraska is safe, but not so sure about my own one-man company.

Your one man company definitely is not safe, you’ll be responsible for all damages done by the full stack you’re providing. Each library / OS / whatever software is part of your product. Yes, this is bad.

The EU really needs to be isolated from the world technology market. They are only creating hostility and rent-seeking from people that build things and contribute actual value.

The EU regulatory bureaucracy on tech, like all bureaucracies, does nothing but serve its own cancerous expansion.
