There's a lot more to say about this. Fortunately, Liz wrote blogs about this topic, and about her work on this. Four blogs already. Very educational. And if you are a developer of software, or of hardware with software on its components, you will at some point in your career bump into this subject.

Including working with PURL: Package URL (sounds like Perl, but is not related). So now she made modules for that too, and even working together with the PURL community.

@lizmat started with SBOM for Raku. The Software Bill of Materials will probably become a requirement that every software producer must provide. Liz is working hard on making whole packages with modules and documentation to make SBOMs possible for Raku, and she advancing nicely with this project.

My @liz started work on this for Raku, nudged and supported by Salve J. Nilsen , who I know for being a great organiser of events and an overall nice and smart guy.

Failure to comply can mean being banned from the EU-market. Another risk is fines of millions of euros for not complying and maybe endangering people / infrastructure.

This all also applies to open source software.

That can be a lot of work and provide many surprises (good and nasty ones).

Developers need to prove that their products have no vulnerabilities. And they need to be able to show for every bit of software who made it, who wrote the code, who changed it, on what other code it depends, and on what again other code that other code depends on, and so on.

Products like software, of course, but also electronic devices that have some software to drive them. Nowadays, most electronic devices have such software components.
