Your theory, while understandable, is incorrect. The big tech stooges (until this month, I was technically one of them) do not like SB 1047 either. We didn't ask for it. We didn't lobby for it. We didn't write it. We were caught completely by surprise by it.

I went to a public presentation about it by the CA state senator pushing it. I asked him a pointed question about why didn't he talk to the open source software foundations about it, and he lied to my face, and then moved to the next question.
