"...The report confirms the Commission's proposal to include all products with digital elements. It underlines however the importance to ensure that developers of **open source** software are **excluded** from the scope if they are not receiving any financial returns for their projects."
@amarok That's the point. Many Debian Developers are getting paid (not by Debian) to work on Debian; that's "receiving financial returns for their projects".

The sentence in that report is so obscure and unclear, I wonder how anyone should take any legal actions against individuals involved in opensource projects. I mean in most cases there's not just a single programmer working on a single opensource project. Really weird. I hope they will make it clear before the proposal gets approved.
