["Dick Brooks" <dick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While we are on the topic of "other questions"; Does anyone know if open-source contributors that receive sponsorship funding will be considered a "manufacturer"?

For example, GitHub now has a fund for open-source developers, https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/announcing-github-secure-open-source-fund/?utm_campaign=Newsletter%20subscription&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_qUcPB3f6f2MZPH0DreFmKmJnSgKwaRI5hbwbJHYl1kq1c2hHqO5Oaj_pq8kFCPDAxvWFK

Will open-source contributors that receive funding from this Github program be considered "manufacturers" under the EU-CRA?

Thanks,

Subject: [open-regulatory-compliance] Is there anything outside the scope of CRA's connection requirement?

Hey All,

One question I have asked myself but haven’t found a satisfactory answer to yet - are there any products that are exempt by not (directly or indirectly) being used with a network connection? Arguably, the product categories are quite broad, so it seems almost this requirement does not really matter. But then why not extend it to all products, independent if they have a network connection or not? Is this just a product of the CRAs legislative history?
