I'd guess large producers of commercial software. BigCo doesn't have any problem having an entire compliance & audit b.s. department. However, all the smaller companies, independent developers and OSS software will be regulated out of the market.


Similar? The US law focuses on how federal agencies acquire and review OSS software—the EU law throws bureaucracy across the entire OSS landscape.
