Again, much cleaner and better than previous versions; it's clear that  
there's progress being made here. You should be proud of yourself,  
Prodromos!

One note:

 The license doesn't define DRM technology and probably should; I'd opt  
for calling it "use-restriction technology" and note that in some  
cases, vendors refer to this as "digitl rights management." The term  
DRM is rightly contentious, and while vocabulary wars can be tiresome,  
it's worth making an effort when it costs so little to do so.
