The introduction of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) marks a transformative milestone in software security regulation within the European Union, with far-reaching implications for global software practices. As the EU seeks to bolster cybersecurity standards across digital products and services, the CRA introduces new requirements aimed at identifying, managing, and mitigating vulnerabilities more effectively.

This session will explore the specific implications of the CRA for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), with a particular focus on projects under Copyleft licenses such as the GNU General Public License (GPL). Copyleft licenses, which require derivative works to also be open source, present unique challenges in the context of the CRA's provisions.

Join us as we delve into the complexities and opportunities presented by the EU CRA, and explore its impact on the future of Free and Open Source Software.
