System76 pushes back against new age verification bills |
 |
While much of the Linux community is discussing the new age verification laws and how distributions will be impacted, System76 (the company behind Pop!_OS) is pushing back against the new legislation. Carl Richell reports there are ongoing talks with representatives to have exceptions for open source operating systems added to the new laws. "Today, I met with Colorado Senator Matt Ball, co-author of Colorado OS Age Attestation Bill SB26-051. Sen. Ball suggested excluding open source software from the bill. This appears to be a real possibility. Amendments are expected for the CA age attestation bill. It's my hope we can move fast enough to influence excluding open source in the CA bill amendments. No illusions, it's an uphill battle, but we have an open door to advocate for the open source community."
