Ubuntu and Fedora devs comment on California's new Digital Age Assurance Act

I’ve previously written that they should just challenge this in court because distributing operating systems is distributing software, is distributing information, is protected as freedom of speech.

What I wonder is why we are only hearing very much about this now that the law has already passed the legislature and been signed into law? Would not the right time have been before those things happened?
