Bug#531221: okular: Arbitrarily enforces DRM

I commented on the misuse of the term DRM to describe the advisory locking
that is the subject of this discussion.  I added the parenthetical to make
it clear that I was not thereby endorsing the present arrangement.  

BTW "Settings->Configure Ocular" offers a "Obey DRM limitations" checkbox.
This will confuse many users as the feature seems to be normally referred
to as "securing" or "locking".  To most people "DRM" has to do with music
and videos.

I just wanted to clarify the point that this advisory locking is not DRM.
