How is that de-restriction?

AIUI the ability to sublicense the software is what allows people to
include your work in commercial products, or indeed GPLed code, which
could completely change the nature of the license. Arguably though,
that permission is implicit in the "without restriction" part, in
which case your change has no effect. So, yes I am scared by slight
modifications to standard licenses.
What was your intention in removing this word?
