Linux is GPLv2, not Linux GPLv3. V2 does have a similar line in it:
> You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
But I expect we'd have to see litigation to determine how broadly that can be interpreted.
Is applying a consequence as a result of an action the same as restricting that action?

I mean, I don't disagree this needs to be tested in court if it hasn't, but what alternative ways of restriction do you think this is referring to? Do you expect it to only apply to the distributor physically restraining the licensee when attempting to redistribute it? Even the examples given in the license such as imposing fees are applying a consequence.
