Smoku, if you do not want to view access (and copy) control as DRM, cool, but doesn't make the issue any less DRM. Plus, it's not just about repositories, Ovi's 'second attempt' on the N900 involved the abolishment of repositories and the switch to the straight download of debs. Of course the debs could be copied and dpkg -installed on another device, so that was stopped too. This is DRM land no matter how you slice it.
