Disallowing others to violate GNU-approved licenses - yes.
Forbidding someone to use certain software - no.

No meaningful security updates, no independent codebase, no possibility
to upgrade between releases, questionable design decisions - these are
actually qualities of Mint distribution. Thanks, I'll take Debian over
it every time I have to choose.
