Er. How's that again?

How is this significantly different than section 6 of the GPL, which
forbids you from putting any further restrictions on anyone who receives a
copy (the inherent purpose of DRM systems, presumably, being to limit how
far a copy can propagate, the antithesis of Free documentation).

Or am I missing something glaringly obvious here?
