Sorry, at first I thought I couldn't reply to this comment.

I don't understand why you want to know what the provider is?

For the purpose of liability and open source the definition is that any open source free of charge software is excluded from the proposed changes, so the provider doesn't matter.

This can be seen in the first link,on the third headline bullet point "Not applicable to free-of-charge open-source software" as well as the second paragraph.

The provisional agreement on the liability of economic operators for damage caused by defective products aims to respond to the increase in online shopping (including from outside the EU) and the emergence of new technologies (such as AI) as well as to ensure the transition to a circular economic model. In order not to stifle innovation, the rules will not apply to open-source software developed or supplied outside of a commercial activity.

I also added the the briefing of the proposed EU law with the details

Thanks. Hopefully it will be accepted like this and binding. How do you not lose track in all these EU documents?

I don't :/ I searched for that document for about 10 minutes and then gave up and assumed that the EU press statement was accurate.

Then somebody linked it in a comment below and then it was fairly easy as I knew what to search for from the short description in the first link.
