The CRA is designed to fix that "problematic" passage in the GPL, and push responsibility back onto the company creating open source software.

I don't think this will impact any hobbyist open source developer - it is primarily going to impact commercial 'opencore' companies. I wouldn't be surprised if this targets companies like Red Hat / IBM, etc. Or benefits them. I'm not sure yet.

Microsoft is probably laughing all the way to the bank, and this will just solidify their hold on the European market.
