[Bug 27055] Surfacing license to the user

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27055

--- Comment #17 from Sergey Konstantinov <twirl-team@yandex.ru> ---
Some points from telcon discussion[1]:

  * Our goal is not to formalize every possible legal term or restriction: we
    are seeking a way to define what *CDM* can possible do. Our concern is
about
    «black-hole»-like piece of third-party software installed on user device
    following some instructions sent through the Web.

  * Defining in the spec some rules what CDMs must or must not do is
    better than nothing, though I'd prefer to have a standardized white list of
    such actions and a mechanism of checking what instructions were really sent
    by content provider to CDM.

  * Most obvious cases which should be regulated in my opinion are:
    * terms for caching and pre-caching video frames;
    * terms for replaying content;
    * terms for using content offline;
    * operations requiring internet connection.
