Copyleft and the EU CRA
summary
The EU Cyber Resilience Act imposes a legal duty to upstream any developed vulnerability fix for included software under Article 13‑6, with different outcomes if the code is copyleft vs permissive. Compliance covers SaaS-linked features, risks conflicts with CLAs and exclusivity, and can trigger 2.5% of global turnover fines. Large product teams must inventory dependencies now—Ericsson cites 32,000 components added last year—so expect process, legal and supply‑chain work, not just engineering.
