They're awful with this. Any time I try to create an account to use for business purposes I'm asked for id within minutes and then they still ban the account. You need to fun everything through your personal account.

That's because they require accounts to represent an individual. They're pretty clear that it can't be for a business or a non-human entity.

I broadly agree with you but TBF to the earlier comment consider what would happen if a FOSS author did something wrong and was found to be liable. How about curl for example?

The EU CRA handles this by putting liability on someone who integrates FOSS into a product instead of someone who wrote it. Because it doesn't make sense to put liability for unforeseen downstream uses on someone who gave away something they made in their spare time.
