I highly doubt anyone will be able to answer this, but I'm curious if this law would also apply to iOS apps. Of course, copyright on an app can't have expired, but it could be developed or sponsored by the Portuguese government. If Apple were forced to not apply DRM to one app, how far would they have to go? Allow sideloading of just those apps? That would open a can of worms. I highly doubt they'd do all that work, they'd probably just pull those apps and ban them just like how GPL licensed code is.
