Notice the exception:

> But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

- If you ship embedded product where the code is not supposed to be easily upgraded, you don't have to provide means to do that. Anti-Tivoization applies to cases like TiVo where they added DRM to prevent users from upgrading but allowing you to upgrade.

- Also, anti-Tivziation clauses don't apply software distributed to business. Medical devices or safety critical software etc. Any devices sold to business.
