The European Union’s

Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) has caused a stir in the
software-development world. Thanks to advocacy by the Eclipse Foundation, Open
Source Initiative, Linux Foundation, Mozilla, and others, open-source software
projects generally have minimal requirements under the CRA
— but nothing to do with law is ever quite
so simple. Marta Rybczyńska spoke at Linaro Connect 2025 about the impact of the
CRA on the open-source ecosystem, with an emphasis on the importance of
understanding a project’s role under the CRA. She later participated in a panel
discussion with Joakim Bech, Kate Stewart, and Mike Bursell about how the CRA
would impact embedded open-source development.
