Please actually read the law before you try to argue with “as a...“. The fine scales with the violation and it does -surprise- not mean that arbitrary Github projects will have to pay 20m€...
Similar laws already exist and have existed for a long time. There’s no evidence of disproportionately and illogically large fines having been handed out in the past, and nothing to suggest regulators will start now.
Show me a law where you need to make half a billion euros before the potential fine becomes proportional of your turnover.
It only takes one opportunistic apparatchik to make your life hell and this GDPR thing is now law in such places like Hungary where I haul from and if they can get away with it, trust me, they will go overboard. Maybe not 20M overboard but still.
