## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 57/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 95, release rhythm 35, longevity 12
- inputs: {"age_days": 168, "days_push": 30, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, young
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## Adoption (not part of the score)
Stars 1879, forks 50 (observed 2026-08-28T04:05:48.501621+00:00)

## What it is
A community-maintained reference list tracking whether operating systems (open and closed source) implement or refuse OS-level age verification required by laws in various jurisdictions. It catalogs developer statements and legal developments across locales like Brazil, California, Illinois, and Colorado.

## Use cases
- check whether my Linux distro complies with age verification laws
- find operating systems that refuse age verification mandates
- track which jurisdictions passed OS-level age verification laws
- research privacy implications of age verification legislation
- compare distro stances before choosing an operating system
- cite developer statements on age verification compliance

## When to choose
- you need a quick reference on OS age verification status across many operating systems
- you are researching the legal landscape of age verification mandates
- you want links to primary developer statements per distro

## When to avoid
- you need legally authoritative compliance advice rather than a community-tracked list
- you need an automated tool or API rather than a static curated document
- you need exhaustive coverage of every OS rather than notable entries

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: operating-systems, privacy, legal, awesome-lists
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: age-verification, operating-systems, compliance-tracking, community-list, privacy-law, linux, macos
