What do "Limited" and "Restricted" actually mean?

With the release of SF2 GM Core, and its Character Options Entry listing everything in it as Limited for use in Society, I find myself wondering: what does Limited mean? Same with Restricted, for that matter.

Unless my search-fu critically failed, these terms aren't defined anywhere. They're mentioned, but not defined, on the Character Options page. Same goes for the Starfinder Society 2e Guide - those terms are used, but not defined. I even tried the Pathfinder Society Second Edition guide, and same thing: it tells you that some deities or items may be Limited or Restricted, but again, no further details. I don't think it's a Rules thing (that's what common, uncommon, and rare are for, which are defined) but I even tried SF2 AoN. Same thing - some stuff is listed as Limited or Restricted, but not what it means to be Limited or Restricted, or the difference between the two.

It's gotta be somewhere, right? Someone help a space-enjoyer out?

Hmm, looks like I'll need to work on porting that text over from the Pathfinder Society Character Options page.

In short:
- Limited means "not without a boon"
- Restricted means "not without a boon, and don't hold your breath on getting one"
