Even reading thru all the new law to cross check it with existing products is alot of work for micro companies. We already felt it with GDPR, and this seems much worse in that regard.

I have mixed feelings about CRA, but I am satisfied with FOSS protections. I wish it could allow for more commercialization though,not just donating.

As for commercial work, it's good to have a lighter regime for small, low risk products, but it's still alot of head scratching and uncertainty on our part. Also ditto for independent HR and payroll systems, as they aren't low risk. I wonder if their VPN/VM setups they always included work towards security of the app? Again, more work figuring that out.

No. No, you haven't. GDPR was literally a non-issue for micro companies, because all micro companies had to do with GDPR is not gather data they didn't need.

Same here: all you'll need to do is to do due diligence you already should have been doing to begin with

I dunno, the second-ever GDPR enforcement action was against a kebab shop: https://www.enforcementtracker.com/

Lots of tiny businesses on that list too. Also a bunch of local governments, weirdly.

Feels like if we’re at kebab shop levels of granularity for 88 pages of rules governing the entire planet, “a lot of work” is unavoidable, no?
