license: Add legal notice regarding California and Colorado bills As a consequence of recent legislative activity in [California][cal] and [Colororado][col]:

  • California residents may no longer use DB48x after Jan 1st, 2027.
  • Colorado residents may no longer use DB48x after Jan 1st, 2028.

DB48x is probably an operating system under these laws. However, it does not, cannot and will not implement age verification.

    "DEVICE " MEANS ANY GENERAL- PURPOSE COMPUTING DEVICE THAT CAN ACCESS A COVERED APPLICATION STORE OR DOWNLOAD AN APPLICATION .

    The Democrats have a trifecta in both Colorado and California. I really wish that they’d knock bullshit like this off so that I could go back to being upset about Trump and company.

    Reading the title my first thought was that they require age verification to clear memory and sum.
