Thankfully it doesn't forbid it :)
The language is "You may not use technical measures to obstruct or
control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or
distribute" - my file permissions don't affect the reading or further
copying of other people's copies, and the GFDL doesn't entitle people to
access to my copies.
But you know this because we've already had this argument.
Cheers,
Alex.
