So its an additional service with conditions.
Yes, conditions that are an additional restriction of what I can do with a GPL-covered work.

And taking it away or making it conditional based on giving up your GPL right is a restriction.
It doesn't change your GPL rights. If you can't grasp that basic concept then I think you have a problem.
No, I can't grasp the concept that a restriction that involves a penalty is not a restriction.
And as long you keep insisting that your definition of how the law is versus how the legal system sees it.. I don't see this changing. You might as well say the GPL isn't valid because it doesn't use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IN ALL PARTS or some other nutter idea.
