The DRM clause isn't all. There is also the transparent form definition
(excluding, e.g., OpenOffice); and, as has been recently pointed out to
me, the requirements for distributing opaque forms in quantities over
100.
If you distribute opaque forms in quantities over 100 via FTP, you
can't just place the transparent forms on the same server. Instead, you
must force the user to download the transparent form as well, or you
must keep the transparent form around for a year. I've already emailed
with RMS about this, and he says he'll look into it.
There may be more...
