The GPL does prohibit code reuse in other projects under certain conditions.
Patch clauses are at least one case in which prohibiting code reuse entirely
is allowed--even in projects using permissive licenses, or projects using the
same license.
I don't think "if you reuse this code, you must use this versioning scheme"
is acceptable.
