    [$] openSUSE "terms of site" raise complaints about age restrictions

    Description:
    Many people in the Linux community began using the operating systemand contributing to open sourceat a tender age, often well before
    their 16th birthday. Thus, a recent change in openSUSE's terms of site (ToS) that required users of the project's web site to be " at least 16
    years of age or the age of majority " in their jurisdiction has
    raised objections. The terms have since been modified, though users
    must still have parental approval to create accounts if they are
    younger than 16.
