My inbox is flooded with doomsayers and fear mongering about how they're going to kill Linux because of this and no matter how hard I tried to convince them that it would be physically impossible to enforce such a law/rule on open source software they just wouldn't listen.

Looks like the blokes in calif had to eat a lot of truth to come to this decision.

O, before you comment I am fully expecting more doomsayers. So please enlighten me.
