My point is that it is not going to happen in any meaningful way and that these faggot "law makers" have no idea what they are talking about.
What about Trisquel linux, for example, produced in Spain I think by a single developer? Their shitty law does not apply to this developer and I can roll myself a version and use it within the continental US and they can't do anything about it. Linux forks itself around this kind of fuckery at the a-priory level. When some sort of telemetry was installed in Audacity (audio software), the fork known as Tenacity had come out within a week.
It's meaningless drivel. Government is about as tech savvy as Cro-magnon man; they think there is only one search engine. I will never be in compliance.
This is true but you could bet your house on the fact that it would light a candle under the actual linux community's collective ass. There are already many Kernel's that exist specifically to avoid certain blobs for example.
"if it gets added to Linux, I will move to bsd etc" - that's the spirit but I will just find a linux without it.
This shit will never get near the "LinuxLibre style" fuck-you kernels.
Canonical is not linux nor is Red hat.
It's just some half assed politician running their mouth anyway.

If something was added to the kernel it would affect all distros that used that kernel, if it gets added to Linux, I will move to bsd etc

Indeed, thank you
