sure it would!! you can easily have gpl software, and then apply additional
copyright/use terms. as long as your additional conditions don't obviate, or
change the gpl, then you're fine...

Then it wouldn't be under the GPL. The GPL is itself a set of terms that
grant you permission to use and redistribute the software. If you add to
it, it stops being the GPL.
