You are replying "but > these are _good_, _nice_ restrictions". How is this relevant? I agree about the relevance. I just wanted to add my 2 cents. The only good restriction is one which, through just means, can be removed without harm to, and hopefully is beneficial to the owner of the restriction and product. After all, the creator/owner should be allowed to impose his own restrictions, but also be allowed to make any restriction be conditional. The GPL takes away methods of making the restriction conditional. I am not at all suggesting that someone be able through a law suit to remove the restrictions placed on the product, but rather through negotiation.
