Hi Maarten,
Thank you for the heads-up - it is definitely a proposal that
needs to be followed.

B. "Cyber Resilience Act effects on OSS", Maarten Aertsen, NLnet
Labs
NLnet Labs is closely following a legislative proposal by the European
Commission affecting almost all hardware and software on the
European market. The Cyber Resilience Act intends to ensure
cybersecurity of products with digital elements by laying down
requirements and obligation for economic operators.
In this short talk you'll learn what to expect in the Cyber Resilience
Act and why this proposal may matter to you as a developer
or user of open source software. If so, let's make sure that policy
makers take into account its effects on open source development by
professional organisations and volunteers alike.
Do get in touch with Maarten when you have similar concerns, want to
team up or can help us to provide technical expertise in the right
places.
If you would like to read a little more on the topic, Olaf Kolkman has
just published a blog post on the same topic at the Internet Society
blog [1].
I'm new to this community: don't be shy and talk to me :-)
kind regards, Maarten
