Open source software plays a significant role in modern application development, with 80-90% of code comprising open source components. Governments must recognize the importance of safeguarding this ecosystem and consider the potential impact of their policies on its growth and security.
A coordinated global approach to software security is needed to avoid a fragmented landscape of conflicting regulations. It is essential to engage with the open source community, understand its unique challenges, and work collaboratively to develop policies that support innovation while ensuring software security.
