There is a restriction because the only thing you own is the media - the
CD itself.  The End User License Agreement (EULA) usually states that
you are *licensed* to use the software included on the media you
purchased, but that you cannot alter/transfer/copy/misuse/upgrade that
software without the express written permission of the software
publisher.

This is why people like RMS go postal and spend decades trying to make
the world a better place.
