Because grsecurity.net's stated policy (which could also be called
"threat") has created a chilling effect upon such redistribution. IMO that
is enough to be actionable.

I have a customer who does paid distribution of enhanced GPL software, but
they don't make the threat and they put everything in the public within 9
months to a year after distribution to their paid customers. So, they can
get away with that, but once the threat is known, IMO it's a violation.

    Thanks
