Can we demand Verizon/Samsung for unlocked bootloader?

Hi.

Wiki says -
The GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or GPL) is a widely used[6] free software license, which guarantees end users (individuals, organizations, companies) the freedoms to run, study, share (copy), and modify the software. Software that allows these rights is called free software and, if the software is copylefted, requires those rights to be retained. The GPL demands both. The license was originally written by Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) for the GNU Project


Locked bootloader violates our right to modify software (linux kernel). Can we demand for unlocked bootloader under GPL statement?
