What about the CRA is so bad? The requirements seem like common sense. Can anyone point out something specific that seems overly onourous? Debian couldn't...

Our industry desperately needs better regulations, IMO.

there needs to be regulation of for profit services, so when you _buy_ software, there is a baseline that you can rely on, as a buyer.

we do not need regulation limiting distribution of volunteer work.

and the vague language for the delineation line is what's problematic with this proposal.

volunteers have no resources (time, money) to defend themselves or their products against false accusations of lack of compliance. likewise companies that happen to provide foss components might be approached about compliance even for their github content.
