Debian Project Leader Andreas Tille has addressed the ongoing debate over age-verification laws and their potential impact on free software operating systems. Long story short: he clarified that Debian has not adopted a position and is awaiting legal analysis.
In his latest “Bits from the DPL” message, Tille stated that the main question is whether operating systems and package distribution mechanisms might be required to provide age-related information to applications.
He noted that Debian and other projects are discussing the issue, and that Software in the Public Interest, a non-profit corporation founded to act as a fiscal sponsor for organizations that develop open-source software and hardware, has begun seeking legal guidance.
You could just rip out the age verification bits, you have root access, it shouldnt be that hard. If it ever happens
Yeah, if I were willing to comb through systemd’s source code and compile my own version, or add someone’s repo containing a modified version, assuming anyone even bothers to cover oldstable.
