The only way it could work is the "tivo-ization", meaning you have some kind
of software where you can get the source, you're also allowed to modify the
source, but you can't run the modified source, because your hardware will
stop it from working without some kind of signature.
But to call this "free software" is imho a big fat lie, because it's
completely bogus to allow something and afterwards make it technically
impossible. And the "freedom to modify" should mean I'm able to modify it,
not only allowed to where I can't do it in reality.
