The GPL version 2 does not. The GPL version 3 does not directly, but it permits licensors to add such a condition without being incompatible with the GPL version 3. In any case, such a condition may or may not be considered Free by Debian, but I suspect that debate will wait until someone wants to package a piece of software using such a clause on top of the GPL version 3. - Josh Triplett
