Anything with a processor, RAM/ROM and I/O that I own is a general purpose computer (see Turing et.al.). Any general purpose computer that I own I want to decide which soft to put on.

Licensing, DRM and all that artificial scarcity is going to kill IT innovation dead.
Let me tell you, lots of companies in China don’t give a rat$ a$$ about licensing and DRM, and will swamp Western markets with cheap clones that will run about everything which fits the architecture.
They will flood the market with tens of thousands of devices per month, cheaper than the fuel to run the bulldozers used to crush those clones right on the loading dock. And then they will still keep coming.
Think Sentinels in the Matrix. The only way to survive is to make peace with them.
