So are you now disagreeing with your responses to my message about licenses that provide additional permissions to classes of users? (I've thought about your desire to rephrase in terms of restrictions and additional permissions. I believe that it is additional permissions we discuss here, not additional restrictions. The reason is that the default state in copyright is that you have no permission; we speak of limited grants of copyright, not limited restrictions.)
