Oh, I think it's natural to assume that these clauses are superfluous
because the GPL explicitly states that a distributor "may not impose
any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted herein". If these clauses were of any legal relevance, your
software wouldn't be redistributable at all.
Just don't use the GPL for your software if you don't like it, but
don't complain if anyone misunderstands your homemade license
mishmash.
