For me it would be interesting to see, if this also sparks remote work for software development contractors, since of test criteria B.
Else, when a software developer freelancer is working directly in a company with software developer employees, the criterion will be difficult to fulfill.
In Germany we have a similar situation, because we also have this discussion, who is an employee (for social security matters). One big criterion is remote work, but still many employers are holding back, since they fear to loose control over the contractor, when he can not look over his shoulder.
