I wonder if GPL provisions regarding DRM removal and modification supersede anything in voice.ai license. If yes deobfuscating it, removing DRM and releasing it

  The GPLv3 prohibits adding additional restrictions and requires the distributor to waive their right to prohibit DRM circumvention. If Voice.AI attempts to enforce their ToS anyway, they are violating the GPL. IANAL, but because of the clean-hands doctrine, such a suit would fail.

    That's my understanding as well, but lacking the knowledge to remove DRM and willingness to become a target of a lawsuit to prove a point I am not going to test that legal theory just yet.

    They can sue for damages, because the clean-hands doctrine doesn’t apply to suing for money, only applies to suing for equity (anything that isn’t money). The doctrine if unclean hands may only be used as a defense in claims of equity – which are claims in which the court seeks to make things equal or fair, though not by ordering the payment of damages IANAL - just noticed that and thought you might find it interesting…
