Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) In order not to hamper innovation or research, free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity should not be covered by this Regulation. This is in particular the case for software, including its source code and modified versions, that is openly shared and freely accessible, usable, modifiable and redistributable. In the context of software, a commercial activity might be characterized not only by charging a price for a product, but also by charging a price for technical support services, by providing a software platform through which the manufacturer monetises other services, or by the use of personal data for reasons other than exclusively for improving the security, compatibility or interoperability of the software. Nonetheless, in order to ensure that individual or micro developers of software as defined in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC do not face major financial obstacles and are not discouraged from testing the proof of concept as well as the business case on the market, these entities shall be required to make best efforts in order to comply with the requirements in this proposal during the 12 months from placing a software on the market. This special regime will prevent the chilling effect of high compliance and entry costs could have on entrepreneurs or skilled individuals who consider developing software in the European Union.
