The EU has a bill on the table that would make open source authors liable for patching bugs and exploits in commercial software.

If that bill goes through. This argument is nullified at the global scale. And it behooves open source authors to create licensing agreements Commercially.

Open Source simply means Open Source. Everything after the fact is up to the license and bad actors will always ignore such.

It most certainly does not nullify the argument at a global scale. Non EU based developers are not beholden to EU regulations in any way.
Can you link to the bill?
