      DMA is Digital Markets Act. It requires free software to comply with quite serious requirements that are hard for most of the projects to comply with. If the project fails to comply with them, all the responsibility for using it legally goes to the company that uses it, making it a not very viable option. That’s what I know.

        Isn’t this why all the Foss licsenses waive all liability?
