The Imperfect is the Enemy of the Good: Anticircumvention Versus Open User
Innovation, Wendy Seltzer states on page 956:
"Anticircumvention provides the hook by which to demand some DRM, and no matter
how open the process by which the DRM standard was developed, devices
implementing it will have to be closed."
Corresponding footnote 198:
"This is the flaw in the purportedly “open source” model behind Sun’s DReAM
platform. Even if anyone can build an implementation of the specification, it
would win “authorization” to play protected content only after proving its
un-modifiability by others as a prerequisite to obtaining permission.
Developers writing such code would be unable to comply with the downstream
“freedom to modify” condition of the Free Software Foundation GPL. Cf. Gerard
Fernando, Tom Jacobs & Vishy Swaminathan, PROJECT DREAM, AN ARCHITECTURAL
OVERVIEW (2005),
