Community LTS Kernel Support Returns to 2 Years

At the 2023 Open Source Summit Europe, it was announced that the Linux Kernel will return to two years of LTS support by the community. What does this mean fodomr ODMs, Silicon Vendors and solution providers who ship the Linux Kernel in product and had been expecting six years of support?

New Government Mandates Impact Open Source Software

Companies need to be aware of new legislation that imposes new obligations on their products. The E.U. Ecodesign Mandate, the E.U. Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the US Patch Act and others are all advancing a common theme, products must have timely software updates, the latest security fixes must be available and OS updates must be made for extended periods of time. How can companies economically meet these requirements?
