E.g. the GPL itself, as a document, is under copyright conditions that
would definitely make it non DFSG-free had it happened to be a source

I don't think that clause has any legal significance compared to if
it wasn't present. If distribution of derived work is not *explicitly*
allowed, it is forbidden.
Would you require that any documentation on the CDs should come with
copyright statemtents that explicitly allowed modification?
