It would still affect Apple, Microsoft, and Google.
Yes but why is Linux special? You force all to comply or none to comply, that's why these people are fucking stupid.
because Linux is owned by people, not corporations.
you'll see who is really behind this bill when corporate lawyers show up soon.
That's the think. Linux isn't special. It is open source oses and applications where you have license to modify and redistribute.
Probably because the law makers realized how hard this would be to enforce for open source.
This would also mean that applications that are just source available would not get this exemption since the user is not typically allowed to redistribute.
More like the corpo fucks pushing this realized it would hurt them more than benefit them.
The entire idea of this shit is trash pushed by corpos and gambling sites to deflect from the evil they are doing to humanity.
