Eh, is it 2007 again? Hasn't this been discussed to death already? I have little interest to repeat it again; this discussion has been on-going for ten years already (longer if we count GPL vs. BSD discussions, which are roughly similar). Everyone should be familiar with the arguments by now; I trust you're already familiar with mine.

I understand that you're well-intentioned, but I find the suggestion that I'm somehow not informed to be rather patronizing to be honest.

So... you don't really know what restrictions you're talking about, right? I mean, you brought up the subject:

"There are restrictions!" "What restrictions?" "Everyone knows. It's patronizing to ask me. I won't say."

The whole tivo-isation thing has been discussed extensively, as well as the problems with trying to prevent it with the license.

I didn't include an entire summary of it, as it can be easily looked up on e.g. Wikipedia, as well as many other places.
