Ya.. The stated objective of the anti-DRM licensing is to make sure that a company can't force end users to use specific versions of GPL'd software thusly negating the point of having it free software.

It doesn't have anything to do with DRM with the likes of Apple's Itunes or anti-piracy prevention for propriatory software.
