I don't know, but I think that at least a clarification from the authors is
needed. Citing the license [1]:
"This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the
Free Software Foundation ( version 2 of the License ); with the
following additional restrictions (which override any conflicting
restrictions in the GPL):"
Note especially the last two lines.

No, that's not after the license, but after the blurb which seems to state
that those requests are additional restrictions. (Actually they contradict
the GPL...)
But I agree that the intention is likely as you interpret it, so it should
not be difficult to get a clarification.
