The GNU Radio foundation isn't stopping anyone from downloading GNU
Radio.

     scenario 2) GCC is inherently capable of Lisp compilation because
                 all the working machinery for that is already there for
                 whatever reason.  But there is a line of code saying "if
                 lisp_code_found then abort".

And since it is free software, you can simply recompile it with
lisp-code-found set to nil.  

   In the case of GNU Radio Foundation, Inc., freedom 1 is useless for
   changing the code that executes on the server of CloudFlare,
   Inc. 

Cloudfare is not your computer.  If you wish to run GNU radio, you can
do so on your own computer since GNU radio is free software.

   which discriminately blocks some users from reaching the
   documentation.

Simply untrue, as has been shown by several list members.
