I do not see how this change goes against the definition of Free
Software. It doesn't deny a user to install any software they want, it
is about preventing unwanted/unsolicited/malevolent software from being
installed without user (admin) approval.
This looks like pure DRM. While there are security benefits to
controlling access to data or to executables, doing so deep in the
kernel takes away too much desirable freedom.
How is this taking away any freedom? You, as the owner of the computer,
are free to enable or disable or reconfigure this security system as you
please. No one is forcing you to use it. Why is it bad that it's
implemented in the kernel? If it wasn't, it probably wouldn't be very
useful.
