 % FIXME: installation information
 
+
+Why do distributors only have to provide Installation Information for User Products?
+
+Some companies effectively outsource their entire IT department to another
+company. Computers and applications are installed in the company's offices,
+but managed remotely by some service provider. In some of these situations,
+the hardware is locked down; only the service provider has the key, and the
+customers consider that to be a desirable security feature.
+
+We think it's unfortunate that people would be willing to give up their
+freedom like this.  But they should be able to fend for themselves, and the
+market provides plenty of alternatives to these services that would not lock
+them down. As a result, we have introduced this compromise to the draft:
+distributors are only required to provide Installation Information when
+they're distributing the software on a User Product, where the customers'
+buying power is likely to be less organized.
+
+This is a compromise of strategy, and not our ideals. Given the environment
+we live in today --- where Digital Restrictions Management is focused largely
+in consumer devices, and everyone, including large companies, is becoming
+increasingly worried about the effects of DRM thanks to recent developments
+like the release of Microsoft's Windows Vista --- we think that the proposed
+language will still provide us with enough leverage to effectively thwart
+DRM. We still believe you have a fundamental right to modify the software on
+all the hardware you own; the preamble explains, ``If such problems [as
+  locked-down hardware] arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready
+to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as
+needed to protect the freedom of users.''
