    Reminder, this is a “Blue” state.

    Though still far from ideal, at least shows pressure helps!

    So it was never about protecting children. They saw the market share of Linux is so minuscule that it wouldn’t matter.

    So the future is open source or shit. I guess it’s an improvement.

    Certainly an improvement.

    Courts should still find it unconstitutional because software is free speech. I am all for advancing open source and giving people good reasons to switch to it, but not by setting precedents that governments have any business deciding what features software is allowed or required to have.

        Free speech is the right to distribute any kind of information, including software code in either source or compiled form.

        That’s what the legal analysis should be anyway. Whether it will be…

          Fair fair, but that would apply only tp the source code, not the compiled binary/iso, not?

          If so, I think I would agree woth that take.

            No, why would that be different? (…is what I in any case would argue if I were the lawyer for a distributor of operating systems, which I am not)
