Most proprietary services would process user data.
It's also naive to believe that a fraction of open source in a companies pipeline would give them a free pass for everything.

- KAMSPioneer 5mo agoAha, thanks! So I think that raises the question of whether e.g. RHEL is affected. Technically it could be argued that they don't add any additional restrictions, but I wonder if Colorado will see it that way.
