The use of 'restriction' is a specific OWL construct, rather than something of my own invention ? it's defining the relationship between the ODRL terminology and that used elsewhere.

That was my initial thinking, and that of others too in other contexts, but ODRL allows the expression of more than that ? it's a full-bodied REL, and so allows description of things broader than licensing terms -- i.e., rights documents in general? but that's my personal view.
(It may be that 'both, depending upon context' is the right approach here, though it would need some evaluation rules defining)
Let's see what others think!
