OK, you are taking about what you understand is the intent of the GPL,
I speak about the letter of what the GPL says. The GPL is a legal
contract between the person that gives you GnuPG and you. You'd be a
lot safer in court if you respect the letter of the contract rather
than your interpretation of the intent. (And this discussion should
maybe go the fsfe-discuss or something like that)

And my understanding of Samuel's question was more along the lines of
"I don't really care about the politics of free software, please just
say me what I must do to be safe legally".

Hmm... The GPL is not about integrity. You can still call your
modified (or trojaned) versions GnuPG, and not touch the version
number. Any license that has restrictions trying to enforce integrity
is generally labeled as non-free by the FSF.
