Subject: Grsecurity is blatantly violating the GPL

Grsecurity is blatantly violating the GPL copyright license. 
Specifically the provision within it:
> You may NOT modify, SUBLICENSE OR DISTRIBUTE... except as EXPRESSLY 
> PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE.

They do, indeed, distribute under terms not expressly included within 
the GPL text. Here are the additional terms they attach as a codicil:

These additional terms include:
> No redistribution (or else)
> You may only sue us in this forum
> You may only use the law we choose
> Waiver of liability if terminated due to redistribution

4 additional terms. All ment to nullify the distributee's rights given 
by the original copyright holders to which Grsecurity's copyright is 
subject to.

Blatant, in wrighting, clear, bright line, violation.
