Not likely. Will be treated like tiktok for government devices. There is no legal way to prevent private people and business from using open source software unless you label it like csam or something where just distributing the file is a felony.

This could cover any company with any federal contracts at all.

For example example Amazon/AWS has an entire sector of business dedicated to federal contracts.

Even back when I was working for a tiny startup one of our clients was a government contractor.
