请问HN:你的爱好项目是否会受到网络韧性法案的影响?

据我了解,如果您在非商业活动中(无论是开源软件还是其他)发布软件,CRA(加拿大税务局)并不适用。假设一个承包商有一个在线品牌(以个人名义)、一个博客和一个包含一些项目的GitHub账户,那么您是否可以在不触及CRA规定的情况下进行一个爱好项目呢?有人可能会争辩说,在线存在本身就是一种商业活动,并且与之相关的软件也是如此。 我认为,确保安全的一种方法是将商业产品放在另一个网站上,使用另一个品牌名称,并仅从个人网站链接到该品牌,这样个人网站更像是一个关于我的页面。但我不确定这样做的安全性有多高。 法律是这样规定的,但对什么是商业活动并没有明确的定义: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:L_202402847 “本条例适用于在市场上提供的具有数字元素的产品,其预期目的或合理可预见的使用包括与设备或网络的直接或间接逻辑或物理数据连接。” “‘在市场上提供’是指在商业活动中,为在欧盟市场上分发或使用而提供具有数字元素的产品,无论是有偿还是无偿。” 在引言中提到了商业活动,但这并不具有法律约束力: “本条例仅适用于与在市场上提供的具有数字元素的产品相关的经济运营者,因此在商业活动中为在欧盟市场上分发或使用而提供。商业活动中的供应不仅可以通过对具有数字元素的产品收取价格来表征,还可以通过对技术支持服务收取价格(如果这不仅仅是为了弥补实际成本),通过意图实现货币化,例如通过提供一个软件平台,制造商通过该平台货币化其他服务,或者通过将处理个人数据作为使用条件,而不仅仅是为了改善软件的安全性、兼容性或互操作性,或者通过接受超过与设计、开发和提供具有数字元素的产品相关的成本的捐赠。接受没有盈利意图的捐赠不应被视为商业活动。”

As far as I understand, CRA does not apply if you ship software outside of commercial activity (whether open source or not). Suppose a contractor has an online brand (in their personal name), a blog, a GitHub account with some projects. Are you allowed then to have a hobby project without jumping through CRA hooks? One could possibly argue the online presence is a commercial activity and there&#x27;s software tied to it.<p>I figure one way to make it safer would be to put the commercial offering on another website, under another brand name and only link to that brand from the personal website, which is more like an about me page. But I am not sure how much safer that would be.<p>The law says this, but there&#x27;s no clear definition of what is a commercial activity:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;eur-lex.europa.eu&#x2F;legal-content&#x2F;EN&#x2F;TXT&#x2F;PDF&#x2F;?uri=OJ:L_202402847<p>2&#x2F;1<p>&gt; This Regulation applies to products with digital elements made available on the market, the intended purpose or reasonably foreseeable use of which includes a direct or indirect logical or physical data connection to a device or network.<p>3&#x2F;22<p>&gt; making available on the market’ means the supply of a product with digital elements for distribution or use on the Union market in the course of a commercial activity, whether in return for payment or free of charge;<p>Commercial activity is mentioned in the introduction, which is not legally binding:<p>&gt; This Regulation applies to economic operators only in relation to products with digital elements made available on the market, hence supplied for distribution or use on the Union market in the course of a commercial activity. Supply in the course of a commercial activity might be characterised not only by charging a price for a product with digital elements, but also by charging a price for technical support services where this does not serve only the recuperation of actual costs, by an intention to monetise, for instance by providing a software platform through which the manufacturer monetises other services, by requiring as a condition for use the processing of personal data for reasons other than exclusively for improving the security, compatibility or interoperability of the software, or by accepting donations exceeding the costs associated with the design, development and provision of a product with digital elements. Accepting donations without the intention of making a profit should not be considered to be a commercial activity.
