Other open source software gets similar treatment, with Colorado going as far as explicitly excluding code repositories and container platforms.

It's not really a win though. It just means Linux will get blocked by platforms.

Fuck the platforms. We'll make our own.

We're literally on one "we" made on our own right now. So yeah, exactly, we'll make our own. With blackjack... and hookers. In fact forget the platforms.

The fun part of open source is that someone smarter than me will inevitably just update the existing spoofing tools to include whatever checks those platforms are using.
