Since the EU is bringing an act , that needs the products distributed to be flawless , and it applies to open source products too , if a single of their contributor / donor works for a corporate , what will be the future of FOSS in europe with this ?

No, those are separate. It's about open source projects that have developers working on it in their free time (not getting paid for it) and developers who get paid for it. You having a job as a software developer and working on a project outside your work time doesn't make it a "commercial activity".

Just read the act then ! It keeps it vague enough to consider a person working in free time will be considered a commercial product
