Developers who also run a service, or get income from service providers will be affected indirectly.&#xA;&#xA;The tactic being used here by the lawmakers is to starve developers of funds so they have to stop working on open source projects and get a so-called &#34;real job&#34;. There are not many options for directly stopping developers from writing and sharing code, but this is a pretty effective way to slow down development and try to burn out open source developers.&#xA;&#xA;Source: https://social.cryptography.dog/@ansuz/112630461011248734</html></oembed>
