Yes, that's exactly the "good" kind of DRM. A few things are special in your case, though:
- the "rights owner" and the "user" are the same person - the "user" can be trusted - you control your firmware
Does TCPA (I suppose that's what Linus' endorsement of DRM is about) even have the concept of user-installed keys or certificates ?
