... because it's then not the GPL, is it? so it's very clear-cut:
modify the GPL by adding to it, and it's no longer the GPL.
however if the software's dual-licensed (vanilla GPL and
GPL+contradictory-GPL-modifications) then that would be okay, because
there would be a choice. if no such choice is given, it's really
simple: it's no longer the GPL and no longer an "OSI-approved"
license.
