@neal with the way this worked out, I believe we now have a sound template to start working in other states. I haven't found the amended text online but will post as soon I do. Our next step is a letter to the CO reps that we need to pass the bill with these amendments, then adapting that letter to other states and working with the open source community to raise awareness.

@carlrichell @neal I'm assuming you've seen that this has gone national? Any activity there? Are you working with @eff on any of this? I hope they're also poking about here.

@carlrichell Respectfully, I disagree with your attitude here. "Now that this doesn't affect us, fuck everyone else on Windows/Mac." This is not gonna be enough to push the masses toward Linux, so all this is doing is putting Mac/Windows users at risk. Furthermore, what happens when Linux becomes a mainstream tool and then lawmakers decide that now they need to expand the law to include open source software? This is very much a "first they came for Windows users" attitude.
