This entire problem would go away if these projects just changed their terms of service to ban running in California. The tech sector runs on Linux, having Linux deny service over this would immediately see lobbying to kill the law start in Ernest.
This is true elsewhere too of course, but the buying power of Silicon Valley can't be ignored.
That would work, if LF wasn't incorporated in Cali.
LF != Linux.
