Is your argument really “this won’t affect linux, so it doesn’t matter” ? At the very least, FOSS development by anyone in California will be a problem, as the law quite literally names “persons” as potentially liable. I’m taking the position that this is largely unenforceable at a software and OS level beyond larger players that come from California or specifically do a lot of trade in California. The reality remains, the US is the most thirsty for this kind of thing. Not the least. This specifically is quite different to most other efforts. Not sure if it might get constitutionally tested.

… So this is not a concern to you? The fact that there are people in leadership positions that want this, and have reasons why they want this, is below note. And not worth opposing? This will lead to infrastructure, that should not exist, existing. That it can be avoided is not a solution. It should not be built in the first place.
