Rather than waiting around for the legal system to nanny me, I've gone ahead and committed to only purchase hardware that does not attempt to restrict me.

Such as Android, (which some these restrictions seem to be coming to Android to to an extent.)

The thing with AOSP though, that it has the potential to stand on its own, given a talented dev team behind it. I see this everywhere in the ROM communities. So actually Android is a great example, despite what a lot of people say about Google "monopoly".

I think you and I have different thresholds for what counts as 'not restricting the user'.
