From Policy Enthusiast to Legislators' Contact Point
summary
Governments already adopt the EU Cyber Resilience Act and the AI Act with obligations kicking in mostly by 2027, and the EU agency estimates 70% FOSS in typical packages (2019). Law overrides license disclaimers, market rules can deter upstream patching, and multi‑jurisdiction divergence multiplies compliance burdens. Training data raises copyright, GDPR and reproducibility limits and huge compute costs. Practical remedies are clearer: simplify explanations, categorize issues, build coalitions, accept private drafting and imperfect tools, and sustain long‑term engagement.
