The head of Linux Foundation Europe took to the stage at Kubecon today to deliver an unscheduled call to action for the open source community to fix flaws in the EU’s planned Cyber Resiliency Act.

“We certainly commend the goals,” Columbro told the audience. “But there is a broad consensus in the open source community…that it might impact the very fabric of the open source community.” However, many project contributors do work for commercial organizations, potentially leaving them in an exposed position., there are also concerns around the legislation’s proposals around upstream fixes for vulnerabilities and whether these should be made under the original license for the project.

He added the organization was hearing some “positive things” from Brussels on the legislation, but that “like every law, it’s a matter of interpretation.” So, it’s important to have as much clarification as possible before it goes into effect.
