[od-discuss] Restriction of redistribution under OD 2.0

[Peter Murray-Rust]

I have just seen the following correspondence
http://svpow.com/2014/12/09/on-readcube-and-natures-give-away/#comment-97669
which concludes

Well, that is ridiculous. Then the Open Definition v2.0 is useless.
Completely useless.

Was v1.0 the same?

and rather than reply to it myself I thought that I would get an
authoritative opinion.

[Background - the context is Nature's new effort in bringing out DRM'ed (or
TPM'ed) scientific publications. The actual materialt is not Open, so
that's not the point - it is that knowlegeable people can interpret OD as
allowing DRM.
