Roman Storm asks DeFi devs: Can you be sure DOJ won’t charge you?

💡 DMK Insight

The absence of clear legal protections for open source software developers in the U.S. is a ticking time bomb for innovation. As developers push boundaries and create freely available tools, they risk facing retroactive prosecution, which could stifle creativity and collaboration. This uncertainty not only affects individual developers but also the broader tech ecosystem that thrives on open source contributions. If lawmakers don’t step up, we might see a chilling effect where fewer developers are willing to share their work, ultimately slowing down technological advancement.
