This week's Linux and FOSS news:

LINUX NEWS

Colorado and California age verification bills exempt open source operating systems:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/05/colorado-and-california-age-verification-bills-exempt-open-source-operating-systems/
(Good to see some win in this front, although other laws like the US federal law and the Brazilian one don't exclude FOSS so the problem still exists)
(Also, as Switched to Linux pointed out in his video, the Colorado bill is still a bit vague regarding whether restrictive copyleft licenses like GPL are excluded: https://odysee.com/@switchedtolinux:0/bill-passed-foss-carve-out-in-colorado:f)

System76 changed their stance, won't include any age attestation/verification in Pop!_OS and COSMIC:
