From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Brilliant. I'd like to see how the very uninformed legislators deal with this. They will have to publically re-argue first principles
Why though? How does this force anybody to do anything? They will fine anybody 2500$ for handing this to a kid and call it a day. Maybe even move closer to the maximum fine because it is a deliberate breaking of the law.
I think the grandparent was being sarchastic mate
Edit: at least I hope
