IPL vs. GPL

Under the IPL, could someone leave in the offending (license key)
code, and simply add a little bit of 'code' before and after?

/*
offending code here
*/

:-)  I.E., we have left in the code while commenting it out so that
it has no functionality.

If not, then you begin to see how this code is not "open" in the
relevant sense.
