Thank you very much :)

You indeed can't. And whilst I personally think that the GPL is a not so great 
license, better ones don't accept that either. And GPL is set, so that's 
hypothetical anyway. 

That's perfectly fine though, fortunately there are distributions to choose out 
of, so if one decides it would like to override privacy setting 
recommendations from upstream, I think users concerned with that kind of thing 
can and simply will switch distributions.
