    Non-commercial FLOSS products/projects do not have to comply with CRA. However, I think there could be an impact in the industry regarding the adoption and use of Debian.

    What are you thoughts on the subject?

    Should Debian help those commercial downstreams to fulfill the
    requirements?

    I would like to discuss this complex topic with people who are involved
    more deeply into this topic. I consider the current person-power within
    Debian insufficient for taking on additional tasks. Thus, even though
    we may have the intention to assist, the implementation remains
    challenging. I'm uncertain whether commercial downstreams might
    allocate resources towards legal expertise to find ways to adapt the law situation or explore alternative strategies to address this situation.

    Kind regards

    Andreas.

    As you may be aware, the EU has adopted a new cybersecurity regulation
    [CRA] and other countries are following the example. You may also be
    aware that Debian issued a public statement about it (based on a
    previous draft version of the regulation) last year.

    CRA will have an impact on commercial Debian downstreams, specifically
    on all of those who are placing a Debian-inside product in the EU single market. Part of the requirements rely on data that should be found in
    every single package integrated by the commercial downstream. And, as of
    today, part of that data is non existing. E.g.: include (meta)data about
    the support status upstream (supported, non-supported version, EOS date,
    ..., required for Article 13 (11)). Also manufacturers are required to
    "apply effective and regular tests and reviews of the security of the
    product with digital elements" (Annex I pII (3)).

    Non-commercial FLOSS products/projects do not have to comply with CRA.
    However, I think there could be an impact in the industry regarding the adoption and use of Debian.

    What are you thoughts on the subject?</pre>

    Right now I do not have a lot of idea about CRA and its impact, but
    I would say what I think about downstream distros. Since in Debian,
    we do not want to discriminate between commercial and non-commercial
    adaptations, I do think that we should look into the issue and see
    if there is any way that Debian can help out. For this, we need to
    study in detail about CRA, may be take help from lawyers and explore
    possibilities.<br>
