Section 7 of GPLv3 nullifies additional restrictions that are attached to the client (with a few exceptions):[1] > All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying. For example, all of the following are "further restrictions" that are voided by Section 7:[2] > a. You agree not to change the way the Open Source App connects and interacts with our servers; b. You agree not to weaken any of the security features of the Open Source App; c. You agree not to use our servers to store data for purposes other than the intended and original functionality of the Open Source App However, these terms are restated in the Wire Terms of Use.[3] Any user who uses the Wire app or a modified derivative of the Wire app to breach these Terms of Use while interacting with the official Wire server instance is still in danger of violating other laws like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act[4] in the U.S., with respect to how the app interacts with the server.
