GPL speaks of legal restrictions. I'm not speaking of legal
restrictions, but of putting software on a medium with inherent
technical restrictions, and also publishing the source code without
any technical restriction.

I didn't say you can enforce DRM on GPL software by law. I just said
that you can put GPLed works on DRM-media with any restrictions as
long as you also offer the "source code" of this works without
restriction.
That's not as a way to DRM-control GPLed work. But as a additional way
to distribute GPLed work even over DRM-enabled channels - as long as
you distribute also an (legaly and technicaly) unrestricted work.
