Hey Adam Thanks for sharing.
I think the thread you started has a nice set of opinions from Even, Jody and Ivan. Each with their own take. I quite like Ivan's idea to hack the law, and just add a clause to licenses that say "don't use this if you're going to hold us responsible for security issues"! I'm not sure a regional response is important, but I'd be happy to put our support behind the broader OSGeo response if that helps. Something we could do if we feel we have a good handle on it is to get in touch with folks at GA/CSIRO to raise the issue. Trick is finding someone who will understand it and who is willing to take a bit of responsibility to dive into the issue. I'd like to get back on top of more advocacy like this, and will speak at a local event about "open stuff" again, highlighting the importance of open data, open source and open licenses... there's still a lot of fundamentals to educate on before we tackle EU rules too!
