This makes no sense to me. Maybe I don't understand the word
"performance". Could you please define this term?

If I press the button of a tape recorder, what exactly is the
"performance" then? The pressing of the button?

(BTW: A license that I cannot understand does not work for me.
Maybe, I should shut up, write down what kind of license I want,
and then ask if this here is the right place to ask for that.)
