That sounds to me at least as much recommendation as permission.

I suppose "insofar as they wish" makes it permission.

"I recommend that you go to the party if you want to." Is that a recommendation or permission?

It seems to me that a recommendation would apply if the person is undecided. The above sentence seems to say just "follow your own inclination".

Gordon is exactly right: Law 27's reference to Law 16D not applying to information from the IB does not apply to information from other sources. Such information is subject to the provisions of Law 16.
