I think you're missing the fact that open source OSes are explicitly excluded in the version of the law that's currently being discussed.
Yeah but they will be roped in along with vpns etc, but there still will always be a distro based somewhere they can't force it.
So you're saying that despite them excluding them now, they'll include them later, but it doesn't matter because it's open source...?
I mean, I don't disagree that it doesn't matter, but why would they go to all the effort of excluding them now just to include them later?
