'''Code-based enforcement''' means [[lockout]] when a [[software license]] term is violated. It is most commonly seen in [[shareware]]. The [[shareware license]] is specific to a [[demo version]] or [[free trial period]] after which the developer/distributor must receive [[payment]] to permit access again. This affects more than just [[software requirements]]: Any conditions of [[lockout]] would have to be specified in the [[Consumerium License]] beforehand, so that no one could sue for being denied access to the [[Consumerium Services]]. Ideally, they would also have given up rights to a recourse if they found information they had placed in a [[content wiki]] or an [[opinion wiki]] was being used in ways that was detrimental to their business or reputation. Also, any module distributed as [[unencrypted source code]] can simply have lockout provisions removed. This can be made more difficult if there are some [[protocol requirements]] added, for instance, to retrieve authorization from [[Central Services]] before permitting the module to participate in the network that generate or validate the [[Consumerium buying signal]].
