It doesn't seem like a DFSG problem.  I'm not sure if it's GPL-compatible.

If it's not a license condition, then it seems to have no force.  Stating
"if you do this, you agree that ..." doesn't make the statement true.

By replying to any messages in this thread, you agree to order me a pizza.

The above is merely a false statement.

If it's a license condition, then it's a restriction beyond the GPL.

So, what is it, exactly?  (I'm not sure.)
