Easy, "For legal reasons, this OS is not available in California"

This is the way. California wants stupid (even immoral) laws? Companies cannot use those OS? Oh noes, what a shame.

Also, why the age brackets? It should be a simple boolean whether the user is an adult or not. Age brackets enable targeting.

Also the idea itself is just useless because kids will just learn to patch binaries.

I just realized. Does this mean that developing an OS without age checks is illegal in those states?
