Wrong. That's not freedom. That's anarchy.
Sure, some argue that only anarchy is real freedom. But this is clearly
not the kind of freedom advocated by GNU philosophy.
GNU explicitely does *not* support the "freedom" to distribute non-free
software. The GCC case is a strategic compromise. Such compromises need
to be weighted very cautiously, and DRM mechanisms clearly fall a long
way outside any acceptable comprimise.
