I understand that it expands the usefulness of Copr, but it also increases our risk of accidental non-compliance. I'm not sure the benefit outweighs the risk here.
Philosophically, the right to modify software is a key part of the FLOSS ethos, and it's not clear to me why copr.fedoraproject.org (as opposed to someone hosting their own Copr instance) *needs* to be able to distribute unmodifiable software.
