How does that only apply to legal restrictions? It seems pretty clear
to me, at least, that technical restrictions still restrict "the
recipients EXERCISE of the rights granted herein."
I'm not speaking of legal
restrictions, but of putting software on a medium with inherent
technical restrictions,
See DMCA. That's a legal restriction as well in the US, which just
happens to be where, e.g., SPI, Inc. is.
I didn't say you can enforce DRM on GPL software by law.
I say you can't do DRM on GPL software by law, by technical means, or
otherwise.
