This is also an option:
- https://github.com/c3d/db48x/blob/dev/LEGAL-NOTICE.md

As a consequence of recent legislative activity:
- California (AB-1043)
- Colororado (SB 26-051)
- New York (S8102A)
- Brazil (15,211)

Brazil residents may no longer use FreeBSD after 2026/03/17.
California residents may no longer use FreeBSD after 2027/01/01.
Colorado residents may no longer use FreeBSD after 2028/01/01.
New-York residents may no longer use FreeBSD at some point in the future.

Let people pick up the phone (or email) and contact their local politician about this - to change this bullshit law.

We may also rebrand FreeBSD as 'framework'. One can use this FreeBSD 'framework' to build operating system - but legally - it would be a 'framework'. That may be even easier.
