    Then he said Arch Linux should implement it anyway because the law requires it. archinstall PR #4290

    Well, it’s not “the law”, it’s your local law. To most people on the planet, it doesn’t apply any more than for example North Korea’s laws. As far as I can find, Arch Linux is not owned by a foundation or similar legal entity (i.e. which could have been located in California), but the lead developer appears to live in Germany.

        So… if the law interferes with your goals, apparently it is now perfectly fine to just ignore it.

        That seems to be the approach the US government is taking.
