Doesnt this version still screw up the individual developers or smaller outfits that provide paid addons/upgrades to their open source software? It exonerates open source projects that dont engage in any business activity, but holds responsible the 'stewards' who provide paid services and addons? This would kill a lot of individual software developers and small outfits that fund themselves by selling paid upgrades/addons or other services whereas the non-profit projects still remain for major corporations to leech off of them. Added bonus is that the law will eliminate the small competitors of all those major corporations as individual devs and small outfits cant handle the financial burden of this compliance. To make an example from a healthy open source ecosystem: WordPress project would continue without issues, but all the small developers and outfits who make a living by creating plugins, themes and other things for that ecosystem will go kaput.

Am I misunderstanding this?
