According to the current wording if, for some reason, I am held to be
responsible for $whatever, then I should go to court. Me, who lives in
south america (because yes, they are looking for culprits no matter
where they live). They already won.
So, why not try and get the wording correctly from starters?
IANAL, but to me the wording seems correct. As long as you are not explicitly conducting commercial activity in
direct relation to this product to a customer in the EU, none of this applies to you.
If you *are* engaged in commercial activity with customers in the EU, then the EU wants to protect its people and
also keep up the general hygiene of the computing environment in the EU to a certain level.
