<h3 id="voluntary-communications">Communications must be voluntary <a href="#voluntary-communications">§</a></h3>
<p>
- The license and the software may not require communications to any other person or group of persons than freely intended by the user.
+ The license and the software may not make communications other than freely consented by the user, with clear information about what will be communicated.
</p>
<p>
Specifically:
<ul>
- <li>The software and it's license must not require access to any specific network</li>
+ <li>The software must clearly ask for the user consent (so defaults to no) for all communications other than explictly intended (such as done via the user-interface or explicit configuration)</li>
+ <li>The software and it's license must not require access to any non-configurable network</li>
<li>The license may require providing Source Code access to users but it may not require it to be sent to a specific person or be rendered more public than existing communications done with said software.</li>
</ul>
