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's nothing wrong with it at first glance. It's high time they start adding some liability to these corporations because way too many of them just don't give a shit.

They just need to clarify some points. They need to explicitly make an exception for free and open source software developers. Because free and open source software development will be killed if they don't. Can you imagine getting sued because someone had problems with the free software you published on GitHub? The sustainability of free software development is questionable enough as it is. If publishing a project exposes me to that kind of risk I'll simply not publish.
