Did they actually call it a "restriction" in a way that is prohibited
in the GPL?
Also, there is probably room for a public, if not legal, complaint
about gpl compliance if the source and binary components they
distribute don't match in a way that you can rebuild a binary that
works the same. Of course there is a lot of non-gpl content, so even
strictly observing the GPL rules won't solve the whole problem.
