i look at it this way. if you patch your software to only run on
machines with secureboot disabled your software then becomes non free
and has to be removed from fedora.  this is becasuse you are placing
usage restrictions on it. depending on the license of the software
adding such a restriction would violate the license. I am not a lawyer
at all and never pretend to play one, but i do not think you as a
package maintainer can do that. an upstream could, but i imagine it
would be viewed in the same light as a commercial use restriction and
become non-free.
