I think it needs to be made more obvious to the user. Its not dangerous, correct, but a user may well be upset if they assumed they were buying the app and could use it on any Android device. And like I said before, existing users (those who paid before LVL was introduced) would have to stop updating to avoid the LVL restriction - a permission they could easily not see during update.
OTOH, if its too obvious then it may create a feeling of distrust between user and dev, so I guess there's no good solution.
