In other words, the DRM copy is essentially object code, and the DRM-free copy is source code. Explicit anti-DRM clauses are silly political posturing and there is no reason not to simply use the GPL for documents as well as programs if you are trying to oblige licensees to continue providing source code access. (Especially if you believe, as I do, that a competent construction of the GPL under applicable law doesn't permit its terms to encumber other works related, not by copying substantial copyrightable expression, but by use across a published, arm's length functional interface.)
