The problem with this kind of license is that it imposes an additional restriction, which GPL expressly forbids.
Challenge: State precisely what "additional restriction" Novell is imposing. I don't think you can find one without contortions. (Thus I think the common interpretation of GPL section 7 is bogus.)
