The EU Parliament recently voted on the Copyright Directive, which imposes liability on content-sharing platforms for user-uploaded copyrighted content, potentially necessitating the use of upload filters, while exempting open source software development platforms like GitHub. However, the directive's narrow exemption for only "non-for-profit" platforms has raised concerns within the software development community, as many open source projects operate on commercial platforms. The directive also introduces a new licensing right for press publishers and restricts text and data mining to non-profit research institutions, unless individual EU countries adopt broader exceptions. This patchwork of regulations could complicate compliance for developers, particularly those involved in artificial intelligence and machine learning. The directive now moves to negotiations between the Parliament, Council, and Commission, with ongoing advocacy efforts aimed at ensuring that all open source software development platforms are excluded from filtering obligations. The broader aim is to reform copyright law to better align with the modern digital landscape without inadvertently hindering software development and its economic impact.
