Open source liability is coming

>>daniel+(OP)
So what happens in this situation:

I write open-source software, and make it available on GitHub, together with a nice installer. I deny any liability in my license, and the users are free to install it or not. They don't pay me in any way (not even in ads).

Am I liable according to new EU law?

No you are not liable. Liability is linked to a commercial activity because it is meant to protect consumers.

The article is very ambiguous in the way it describes the regulation. I recommended this one for more clarity : https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/eu-updates-pro...

Would windows or whatever host operating system be liable potentially for the programs running on it even if they are open sourced programs?
