Read the legislation. It's not just operating systems, its applications as well! All applications, there are no exceptions. Everything from GIMP to the EHR your Doctor uses to a custom Open Claude bot on Github. ALL of them.

Good thing this will be unenforceable for open source software, or at least things can be forked if they are maintained by bigger companies that need to comply.
