No, software and hardware are different. You can very plausibly prevent smuggling of physical objects, and you very obviously cannot prevent smuggling/diffusion of open source bits-on-disk.

No, because both can be banned using laws and Dario is against banning. It doesn't matter if you smuggle or not, law can outright ban it.
