Just because it doesn't permit the freedom that *you* want to exploit...
All licenses will limit something that someone wants to do. This one
protects circumstances that others have deemed more important. You're
not going to get a completely free-for-all, do what you like with it,
set of circumstances from a *licensed* thing.

Yes, but you'll need a boat.
Can I have a boat for free?
The last line can be answered both ways, that's deliberate. You want
the fish for free, and a free boat.
