This is just plain wrong.
If you want to download something from their site, you have to do what
they tell you to. They're not adding restrictions on what you can do with
the GPLed software, they're just ensuring they don't give the software to
some people, and giving you every opportunity to be aware of the terms
you're getting the software.
The only difference between this and `you must pay us $5 before you get
a CD' is that it's more explicit.

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG encrypted mail preferred.
