    § 3 Begriffsbestimmungen

    Im Sinne dieses Staatsvertrages sind

    1. Anbieter eines Betriebssystems eine natürliche oder juristische Person, die Betriebssysteme bereitstellt,

    A distributor of an operating system is a person or legal entity who provides operating systems.

    It is extremely vague, it could be everyone from the creators of the distribution, to the person/company running the download mirror, down to the person who does the installation.

    Without some court rulings to bring some guidelines and practical applications of the law there is the risk that everyone handling a non-compliant OS could be judged under the law if someone under 18 could get access to to OS or a System running it.
