Hi, Michael.
The restriction is from the Stanton grant.

Speaking of which: Has the WMF considered publishing the document (contract? terms?) which details the exact cover, purpose, conditions and obligations of the Stanton grant? I don't know whether the Stanton Foundation wants to keep this document confidential, but then, I don't really see what could be confidential about the terms of grant now that all the negotiations have finished.
I think it would be a nice example of transparency to publish (ie. upload on meta or somewhere) this and similar documents, as long as this does not threaten the obtaining of future grants.
