John, As much as I respect you and your goals, I must point out that "DRM-locked machines" are contractually required by all OLPC deployments (not our choice) above a certain size. If OLPC stopped offering some "DRM" solution, we would simply lose in the marketplace to those (Intel/Android) that completely ignore any user rights.
