What is that bs? So they only interoperate with closed source, for profit services or what? I hope the EU rips them a new one.
No, just GPL licensed source.
MIT, BSD, Apache, and all the other OSI licenses are fair game.
The recent malicious compliance by Meta and Apple goes to show there’s no such thing as “good faith” and the EU is doing a bad job by leaving a bunch of loopholes open.
The EU has done a wonderful job by making the DSA which went into effect yesterday. My personal favorite is up to 10% of global revenue per transgression and 20% for repeat offenses.
