Would you disapprove of software which enforced, in some way, the GNU GPL?

The idea is inconceivable, since the point of the GPL is that you CAN
edit the source.  But if this were possible, it would not be wrong.

Digital Restrictions Management is wrong because it tries to deny the
public the freedom it should have.  It restricts the public.
Enforcing such restrictions is wrong.

The GPL does the opposite--it protects the public's freedom.  Its
requirements stop you from restricting the public, trampling their
freedom.  Enforcing this is protecting freedom too.
