There's Hope That At Least Colorado's Age Attestation Bill Could Exclude Open-Source

System76 CEO Carl Richell met with Colorado State Senator Matt Ball, co-author of the Colorado OS Age Attestation Bill (SB26-051), who suggested excluding open-source software from the bill. This follows System76's earlier statement about age verification laws in California and Colorado that could significantly impact Linux distributions and open-source software. While no guarantees exist, there is cautious optimism that open-source exclusions could be added via amendments in both Colorado and California bills.
