Free Software and CRA - expert talk and discussion on 3 April
On the afternoon of 3 April, Maarten Aertsen (NLnet Labs) will give a presentation on how the Cyber Resilience Act addresses Free Software, particularly in comparison to other New Legislative Framework (NLF)-style regulations in various sectors
As part of the “Dialog für Cybersicherheit” (Dialogue on Cybersecurity) project, the FSFE and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) are working together with representatives from civil society, academia, industry and public authorities in a project on the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and its implication for Free Software. To ensure clarity, information is needed on who will take on which role and which tasks and processes are to be carried out. In particular, the role of Open Source Stewards and Free Software beyond commercial interest are of particular importance to the project.
As part of the project, experts are invited to give talks and share their expertise to shed light on those questions. On Thursday a presentation by Maarten Aertsen (NLnet Labs) will take place, focusing on how Free Source Software is addressed by the Cyber Resilience Act and in particular on how that is different from other New Legislative Framework (NLF) style regulations in different segments. Afterwards there will be time for a discussion.
The event will take place on Thursday, April 3, 2025 from 3 - 5 p.m. CEST online.
