You can't.

Read the GPL v3 license

Does GPL v3 also disallow a developer from having some sort of license key system? (I don't know how this would be implement in the code without being able to be changed by the end user to be free. I don't know if there is a way to prevent piracy without hiding code which would violate Sourcemod's terms.)

While it doesn't disallow a license key system, the system would be pointless as the source must be distributed as well.
