a better explanation is on wikipedia:
Tivoization is the creation of a system that incorporates software
under the terms of a copyleft software license (like the GPL), but
uses hardware restrictions to prevent users from running modified
versions of the software on that hardware.
This is admittedly a wild guess but what about تويبيّة :-)
is a phrase allowed or does it have to be a single word?
