This was clearly not the intention, and to their credit, the EU has since worked with the open source community to create “carve-outs” for open source projects. Luis explains us all about how open source foundations like Eclipse, Apache, and Linux Foundation have been actively working to ensure carve-outs protect open source developers and projects. The path won’t be smooth, but the recognition of open source’s importance and the potential for increased sustainability funding might just help us build stronger foundations to support open source projects.
