EU AI Act (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=OJ:...) as of today (CTRL + F "open-source"):

> (89) Third parties making accessible to the public tools, services, processes, or AI components other than general-purpose AI models, should not be mandated to comply with requirements targeting the responsibilities along the AI value chain, in particular towards the provider that has used or integrated them, when those tools, services, processes, or AI components are made accessible under a free and open-source licence. ...

> Article 2, 12. This Regulation does not apply to AI systems released under free and open-source licences, unless they are placed on the market or put into service as high-risk AI systems or as an AI system that falls under Article 5 or 50.

Let's see if the EU AI Act will be adjusted in the same spirit as discussed in the linked discussion.

What does that mean?

It reads to me that you can’t pass on upstream AI vendor/platform/service requirements downstream to users/customers/end parties.

Which would be separate from any legislated requirements or limitations.
