@riskybiz Really wondering how this affects ethical source software, given the wording of Article 2(2). Any insights on this, @ethicalsource?

@riskybiz After destroying their industry with stupid energy policies, the EU is going to destroy whatever software industry it still has, too.

@stiiin @riskybiz @ethicalsource If I remember correctly open-source tools and repos are exempt. There was quite an active discussion about this as the first draft would've included every single thing, even the most obscure Linux repo. This was meant to be changed though during the process.

@bontchev @riskybiz Damn, gotta tell the lads everything has to look destroyed to fit the current theme. Especially those stupid solar panels on the roof look way too fancy.

Someone call SAP, Suse S.A. and everyone else. They gotta look derelict as well!
