'and removed restrictions' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'generous side changed' is the wordplay.
'generous' becomes 'liberal' (similar in meaning).
'changed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'side' anagrammed gives 'ised'.
'liberal'+'ised'='LIBERALISED'
