In this case you might have grounds to enforce this restriction of the
network on the network controller itself, I suppose.



how would the network controller know if the software has been modified?


The loader could check that and set a flag in the controller.


what sort of signal can the network controller send that couldn't be
forged by the OS?


Whatever the network controller designer created to enable it to do
so.


how would you do this where the device is a receiver on the netwoek
(such as a satellite receiver)


If it's input-only, then you can't possibly harm the operation of the
network by only listening in, can you?
Ok, so you consider any anti-piracy measures to be something that GPLv3 should prohibit. 

thanks for finally takeing a position.
