Please explain this.

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.
