40. Your reading means, for example, that multiple companies contributing to the same open source that they are all capitalizing on would each have to file a declaration of conformity, maintain a CE, etc etc. 

Which I think is fair - if they are doing this - then certainly each of them, are placing a (commercial) product on the market. As that is what they do.

I guess it was for the lawmakers quite crucial to make this open source steward somewhat of an independent legal entity - as to avoid a single company - or a small cabal of them, to abuse/exploit this as a loophole of the CRA.
