       @thenewoil Another consideration is if people begin modifying their FLOSS license so as to specifically-exclude the EU from licensability:"this FLOSS SW *cannot* be legally used in ANY jurisdiction in-which it is required to be currently-audited, or commercial, or liable for anything, because this is a gift to the world, and if ANY jurisdiction *makes* me liable for more, then that jurisdiction is abusing my gift, and therefore this work *cannot* be used/licensed there"...or something like that...---Obviously, the *correct* answer, is that the EU's requirements be on commercial SW,but for FLOSS, the EU *invest in* the FLOSS, providing the same ( or significant-percentage thereof ) funds as would be paid in licensing, to developing the robustness, correctness, & security, of the FLOSS they are relying-on.This provides *much* greater payback than proprietary SW licensing-fees does: once the #Punctuation period of a software's development is done, and it enters the #Equilibrium phase, then the costs of maintenance go down, yet the trust goes up.Moneyarchy's lobby will do *anything* to break FLOSS from the world, though, so expect them to push to prohibit correctness, as they always do.War is war, and only a *broken* world can be carrion to be fed-on, right?*MAKE ISSUE-DIAGRAMS THAT SHOW THIS LOGIC,& GET THE LEGISLATORS, AND VOTERS, TO DECIDE THIS, PLEASE*#IssueDiagram :Current-Condition is at the bottom ( portrait-format ),where one's toes would be, if one laid the paper immediately-in-front-of one's feet, on one's path...GOAL is at the top of the sheet, the furthest from current-condition.Each Critical-Path item/option ( including multiple-paths, in order to *show* why to choose a specific one, obviously ),has its Pros/Pluses/Recommendations above it, in a green shape,and its Cons/Minuses/Adversities below it, in red.Done correctly, each item gets its own stickynote, and they can be moved-around on the big-sheet/table, see?Once it's solved, then the choices become obvious.THAT is what the things are for!Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?_ /\ _
