System76 fighting for open source being excluded from Colorado age checks

There's a lot of age checking / age assurance bills going around right now, and System76 have entered the fight in Colorado to help open source.

One reason these laws won't work: since Linux is open source, you can download the source code and compile everything yourself. The source code should be protected by the 1st Amendment, so states can't reasonably restrict it, and if you compile everything yourself, there is no "vendor" who has to do anything.
