GitHub welcomes the opportunity to respond to this Call for Evidence. We share the Commission's view that the CDSM Directive set a sound foundation, and the questions raised by new technology are best addressed by focused, well-evidenced adjustments where necessary rather than by reopening the Directive.

What they argued
GitHub is the largest code repository and platform for collaborative software development. Home to over 94 million developers, and nearly 14 million in the EU, we are where the world builds software. GitHub welcomes the European Commissions efforts to improve cybersecurity in the single market and, in particular, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) proposal.
GitHub appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback to the draft Guidance on the application of the CRA. We believe this guidance, along with the already published FAQ and other publications from the Communication, greatly improves the readability and applicability of the CRA for FOSS developers and users of FOSS in various roles.
