This makes literally zero sense.

Why would the software license determine this? Just rollback the shit law.

Cause they don't want to have to force corpos to get age verification on the ludicrous number of IoT devices that run Linux, but cover their ass in making it not seem that way.

Oh sorry. I mean... cause they're, like, open-source and how could you even enforce that?

Corporate stuff and things like IoT devices were already exempt from the law, they didn't need any changes.

Obviously our lawmakers are communist and this is a ploy to undermine the very capable and responsible software maker called Microsoft /s

They're not going to enforce it anyway.
