I wouldn't disagree with you. The question I posed really revolves around the 
non-standard configurations and uses. Obviously in a medical or spaceflight 
scenario this wouldn't be a concern, but *should* a developer get the idea to 
use RTEMS for a more consumer-oriented device and build support for 3rd party 
applications, under the text of the law we would be liable for implementing the 
age verification APIs. The law dictates that the original OS developer bears 
primary responsibility, not the downstream developer/manufacturer/etc. 

I suppose I'm coming at this from a *VERY* strong compliance mindset in the 
vain of avoiding costly fines/litigation, regardless of the fact I disagree 
100% with the law and will be doing everything to circumvent it on my personal 
systems. But I do wonder if it isn't helpful to at least have the discussion so 
a project-wide determination can be made whether to comply or whether we meet 
the exception and do not need to comply and to have a public statement 
regarding the same. California is, after all, very litigious and it makes sense 
to be proactive.
