It doesn't, unless you have understanding customers who just don't
redistribute because they want you to stay in business. But grsecurity
doesn't work that way, it is alleged. It is alleged that they tell
customers that if they redistribute, they will no longer be allowed to be a
customer or get the next version.

IMO that's violating the GPL.
