I appreciate the informative nature of their website but I would just use Debian and skip the impotent fuck you aimed at the corpos.
I think it's a fuck you aimed at the attorney general and whoever phrased these laws. They go into detail in the FAQ at the bottom. (What is the point of all of this? / What if the AG actually fines you?) Using it isn't the really the point.
Now I am thinking...
If a kit in California were to make a YouTube video using this OS and AG ends up not fining anyone for it, can that be used as a precedent?
I think the way unclear / ambiguous law works is: It's almost always used against you. It's probably up to the attorney general to use it as precedent for what they want to do. Less so for the person at the receiving end of it.
