I have all respect for His Majesty (that’s weird … even as a Czech I have still a strong tendency to write automatically Her Majesty), so I don’t dispute this special copyright itself, but I always wondered what does it actually mean. Which of the Four Freedoms (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and https://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html) are affected by it. * Is there any limitation on my reading the text? * Is there any limitation on my fixing problems with the given record of the text (like what we do to it)? * Is there any limitation on sharing such changed text with others?
