This looks like a situation where FOSS institutions need to band together and get some crowdfunding for legal advice. If writing software is a means of self-expression, does dictating how it should be written and what it must contain amount to a violation of the First Amendment in the US, and if so, could a case be brought to challenge those parts of the law which force writers to include certain things with which they might disagree? If it gets struck down other States will think twice before following the lead.
