My prediction: If this actually goes where the smug Eurocrats intend, they will congratulate themselves for having solved the problem.  Meanwhile, productive European open-source authors will no longer be able to afford the liability of doing what they do, and will either have to stop, or publish from legal entities in the US, where nobody ever has to answer for bad software, ever.  Because, you know, then Google and Microsoft and Facebook would face liability, and the USG exists to prevent that.
