I agree but not for the same reasons.
Anyone in the dishonest camp already could do this themselves by pulling the source code, patching out the anti-piracy blocks, and building their own "custom" versions of the tools. noDRM does not give them anything they didn't already have.
What it does do is raise a big red flag about piracy on the repo which will likely get it taken down as news of it spreads to publishers and they issue their DMCA takedowns. So I think either noDRM will put those blocks back in or the whole thing will get permanently taken down.
