I'm not sure what you mean by "physical or information-based". Are you contrasting hardware with software? Are you suggesting that IBM hardware may not be used with non-IBM systems unless explicitly permitted, and that the default is "no"? I have an IBM-branded mouse that I bought many years ago for use with my then IBM Thinkpad. Today I still use that mouse, but with an HP laptop. Should I be concerned?
