The only new prohibition is advertising, and there are no new 
permissions not covered by permits DerivativeWorks.  There is a new 
requirement on the latter -- the derivative must be highly transformative.

We don't plan to add "prohibits AdvertisingUse" or "requires 
HighlyTransformativeUse", as the vocabulary is intentionally coarse 
grained.  I'd be happy to entertain contrary arguments.
