The license grant the Linux Kernel is distributed under disallows the imposition of additional terms. The making of an understanding that the derivative work must not be redistributed (lest there be retaliation) is the imposition of an additional term. The communication of this threat is the mom

From a legal standpoint the pulling of the public patches is significant. Before then there was a cause of action due to the imposition of an additional term, but since the rights-holders could still access the derivative work it may have been a moot point to them. Now that additional no-red

The license under-which the linux kernel is distributed forbids, in it's text, the imposition of additional terms. GRSecurity has, in-fact, successfully imposed a no-distribution term. Even if it was a wink and a nod or an implicit threat the courts would not be blind to them. Additional terms
