I wish larger and more popular distros like arch, debian or mint would take a stand aswell. I get ubuntu or fedora having to comply as these are run by american companies, but debian and mint opinion would probably have major sway over the entire ecosystem
They’re being the adults in the room by seeking legal guidance and not prematurely putting their foot in their mouth. We must be patient. The penalties on some of these laws could be fatal, even to the biggest foss players.
The weird thing about this is that this wouldn’t be against any law anywhere, except the state of California… So, why wouldn’t this be adequately solved by not giving a fuck?
Several more states have introduced/passed similar legislation already, so it’s becoming more of a problem; or see Brazil’s law.
