@webmink Finland: "Section 20 of the proposed law includes the possibility of imposing a threat of fine on an open source software steward. The EU regulation does not require this, it is Finland's own tightening. The threat of fine is unfounded and harmful. It may weaken the development of open source code, digital sovereignty and Finland's competitiveness." – COSS, the Finnish Centre for Open Systems and Solutions https://coss.fi/uutiset/suomi-kiristaisi-avoimen-koodin-saantelya-haitallisesti-vastusta-ylimaaraista-uhkasakkoa/ #CRA #Finland #FOSDEM #OpenSource
