Being able to exclude open source would be amazing.

What infuriates me tho, is what I read in the linked reddit thread that the article doesn't talk about, that is, lobbyist pushing for this moronic law to try and avoid paying fines.

Kudos to System76 taking this seriously.
But they need to take it further than asking for Colorado to take a nonfash approach to device surveillance.
