Riley Baird said: > is a restriction The only way I can think of it to consider is a restriction is if Tivoization were considered a legitimate activity to begin with. Framing copyleft as a "restriction" is not a good idea. This goes back to what John said. As an example, it's not as if TiVo Inc. "can't" use GPLv3 stuff or that they the license somehow "restricts" them from doing so. Rather, they can and should use it (everyone should.) They just need to pass on those same freedoms to others. It's probably better to position/frame the GPL and copyleft as protecting software freedom rather than "restricting" it.
