    Why not say “we won’t sell to any customers in California” and be done with it? If someone goes out of their way to install Ubuntu on their system, it’s up to them. Also, how is that going to work for OSes in the cloud? Will CI pipelines need to be age gated?

      Because not selling your product to the 5th largest economy in the world is a dumb idea.

          California on its own is the 5th largest economy in the world.

            And the rest of the US is unimportant?

              Not unimportant, just irrelevant to this conversation, this is about California.

                It is not. Leave California and serve the rest of the country.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
