Confusing but probably consistent. I wouldn't be happy recommending
this for general use.
In the copyright holder's understanding, re-imposition of the
requirements of sections 2a and and 2c by those creating a
derivative
work is not allowed, since those restrictions never attached to this
work; see section 6. [...]
I don't follow the reasoning of this part. The GPL section 6 says any
"recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor
to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and
conditions" and I thought "these" was the GPL, not GPL + any extras.
Therefore, 2a and 2c further restrictions must be applied to the
entire work by any redistributor, as you only stated a proviso rather
than granted a general exception to 2a and 2c, didn't you?
Then again, I wouldn't argue this in court unless forced :D
