Hi Olle,

Surprisingly,

it seems the EU reserves some right to prescribe a format without highlighting how that process could look like (rendering the outcome a mystery, I think).

Viele Grüße,

While the CRA mentions SBOM in the draft many times, it is not requiring that 
the vendor
provides customers with an SBOM. It says that SBOM is a good tool for 
vulnerability
tracking and opens up for the EU to decide on a recommendation on a particular 
SBOM format.

So yes, it’s mentioning SBOM but it’s not going all the way.

Today, all the risks and cost from a cyber attack fall on the consumer.

IMO the EU CRA is designed to protect consumers by sharing responsibility for 
cyber attack liabilities with software producers.

The issue IMO is the open source model fails to properly compensate the 
talented people behind open source projects

Very encouraging language in the EU CRA for SBOM adoption and vulnerability
monitoring/reporting.


Small consolation given what a potential disaster the CRA is for open
source / free software in general (see especially Problem 3):
