“This important legislation will, for the first time ever, codify open source software as public infrastructure,”
This has a lot of legal implications for coders, hackers, script kiddies, etc.
"The legislation also requires CISA to hire professionals with experience developing open source software to ensure that government and the community work hand-in-hand and are prepared to address incidents like the Log4j vulnerability. "
So now Microsoft will be a government contractor in securing github-dependant federal infrastructure?
