Laws are one thing, regulations are another; laws apply to everyone in a jurisdiction, regulations are self-applied by organizations. The HHS regulations page <http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/guidance/special-protections-for-children/index.html#> says in its first paragraph that it applies to *research institutions* that have DHHS funding. The HHS website about page <http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/about-ohrp/index.html> says: The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) provides leadership in the protection of the rights, welfare, and wellbeing of subjects involved in research *conducted or supported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.* Sugar Labs is not a research institute and doesn't have DHHS funding, so these regulations do not apply; they are merely useful reference material.
