[theme-reviewers] GPL and limiting usage

[Josh Pollock]

>From the FSF:
"It's always possible to use GPLed code to write software that implements
DRM."

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html#neutralizing-laws-that-prohibit-free-software-but-not-forbidding-drm

As copyright holders on GPLv2 licensed code, Pagelines or Automatic could
explicitly say "You can not remove our DRM" and if you did that would be a
criminal offense under the DMCA. But they are not, which is very nice of
both of them.
