What the hell does this mean for open source software and even enterprise software?
Must we all build from source?
And if I need to start "Black Market Linux" who will join me?
I've read this and it bamboozles me (IANAL) and I don't see a size threshold, nor a floor, as in "free". IMNSHO, overreaching, without limits.
And when kids are writing vibe apps, will they be nailed for $2500+?
It doesn't seem nearly as oppressive as you fear. It age-gates online services. The only impact to software is indirect: "covered manufacturers" of devices must provide a mechanism during setup to collect the user's age. This is to be used to send a signal about age to online services.
By my reading, that's about it. Am I missing something?
