Exactly what I said, you don't understand how GPL works and you just slander grsecurity for no reason.
Even you said they're not breaking GPL multiple times. What they're doing is allowed.
I disagree.

Yes, it's very clear that they're attempting to subvert the GPL by coercing customers into not exercising their freedom to redistribute (section 3, first sentence). I can't find it now (all I could find is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11808914) but there was a thread about this issue earlier this year.
Essentially, in some people's view grsecurity is acting in bad faith which means that they are violating the GPL (not the license text itself, but the copyright law surrounding license agreements).
