This distinction is a bit played out amongst early adopters of ebooks, to tell the truth. The vast majority of ebook aficionados know it's primarily a matter of semantics. The limitations of "only licensing" aren't really restrictive enough to significantly bother many (even those "in the know"). I know some still "sweat it," but those numbers are going down. As trivial as it is for me to remove DRM (and as many years as I've practiced doing it), I usually can't be bothered to do it any more. I'm not going to worry about them "pulling my license." Mainly because after I've read an book, I've depleted the vast majority of its value (in my eyes). Losing access to it wouldn't really overly upset me. I got my money's-worth out of it already by reading it. E or P. *shrug*
