Good luck with that too, especially as GPL3 has a clause specifically forbidding tivoization built into it.

The type of thing RH is doing with the RHEL EULA in order to attempt to circumvent GPL2 protections? Yeah, that wouldn't fly under GPL3.

Yk back in my day it was even unthinkable to have a president decide your gender for you, the precedent already being created is insane.
