In recent years, Europe has seen an increase in regulations directly affecting the software industry, and with implications for Fee Software. The regulatory landscape is complex and evolving, which makes a deeper understanding of the intended and unintended consequences on FOSS projects and the ecosystem necessary.

This session with Alexander Sander, fukami and Michael Schuster, will explore the intricacies of EU legislative processes, using the CRA as a focal point. The panel aims to share and identify key moments of realization ('aha' moments) that enable navigating regulatory challenges more efficiently.

The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) co-organized, one more year, this popular devroom at FOSDEM 2025.
