Per the very first reply on their thread discussing it in their forums, which I linked directly to for the post title:

We’ll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user.

However, what’s gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too? My guess is maybe they start blocking regions which force age gating like Arch Linux 32 is doing.

        Kinda crazy how downloading Linux isos might actually become illegal.

        What a fucking clown world we live in.

        Welcome to the world of open-source piracy if that happens.

        Lol, which is funny as every torrent client gives the example of downloading Linux isos (which is probably for legality reasons)

          Yep, that’s me, just Linux isos, I just like to collect 'em, y’know, and store them on a small 100TB NAS I can access from any Plex client computer in the house should I need them. You never know.
