If you pass ownership on to someone else but then attempt to prevent them from modifying it, I wouldn't just call that a violation of the intent of the GPL... I'd call that fraud.

By your reasoning, credit card companies are comitting fraud by not letting you easily change the identification on credit cards to match those of Bill Gates.
