The question was whether making the data inaccessible due to
trialware code would trigger the anti-TPM clause. I'm not sure if that's
considered TPM, but if it is, then I think having the *images* not
be locked by it (even if the program is) is enough to avoid a conflict.

I think this is even true for BY-SA, though, since the license of the
program doesn't affect the license of the displayed content.

In any case, it's good digital citizenship. ;-)

Cheers,
Terry
