It is (tangentially this brings to mind source acceptable condition
should be broad enough to include "installation information"; GPLv3's
anti-tivoization provision isn't a technical restriction prohibition)
though maybe saying DRM would be more clear than the magic "effective
technological measures" phrase which surely many fewer people recognize.

Yes and the part of CC 4.0's strategy which parallel's GPLv3's.

I tend to think of them as permissions as well, but I wouldn't object
to adding those two sentences for clarity to the section.
