Freedom 1 includes the freedom to use your changed version in place of
the original. If the program is delivered in a product designed to
-run someone else's modified versions but refuse to run yours —
-a practice known as “tivoization” or (in its practitioners'
-perverse terminology) as “secure boot” — freedom 1 becomes a
-theoretical fiction rather than a practical freedom. This is not
-sufficient. In other words, these binaries are not free software
