The Tivoization clause. There are certain classes of devices where there are legal safety requirements where there is some legal ambiguity whether allowing third party software would constitute a circumvention of the mandatory safety features.

@fvbever @kiri while I do think there are some really specific cases where regulations do not allow third party software, that point has been massively leveraged to push against the #GPL. Those rules really are rare, and on top of that, there are many cases where manufacturers are banning third party software because it is a cheap way out, not because the regulations actually require that.
