It's possibly some badly written requirements would, but there's zero reason why it'd need to preclude FOSS if such restrictions are written to be under the buyers control presuming they demonstrate age, as all they require is a way to restrict reinstalls and replacements of whatever software produces sufficient controls without an unlock code.

It doesn't need e.g. code signing or anything else of the sort.

To be clear, I think all of this is a massive overreach - my point is only that you can achieve the claimed aim with far less invasive means.

That, if anything, makes the chosen idiocy even more troubling to me, as either they're incompetent, don't care at all about the implications, or there are unstated aims.
