alt Hacker NewsThe calculator firmware is a "software application" that's run by a user on a mobile device but it can't access an application store or download applications. For that you need a PC.
So github.com is the violator, here, since it's a software application that may be run by a user on a computer and can download applications (loads of them!).

I've read through the CA law a couple of times and can't figure out what an application store is supposed to do. What part of the law would github violate?

Only if its js initiates downloads (even if just injecting other js), in which case, I guess yes??? Or does that fall onto the browser??? Sounds simple to figure out. Maybe everybody will abandon the term webapp now.
