I think you are wrong about this, however IANAL.

Translating it into a plain english exsample, I get:

	If the disto is restricted in Cuba, by patents or copyrighted
	interfaces the original copyright holder can amend the License
	to limit the distribution so that it is not permitted in Cuba.

However in this case the limitation seems to be because the US is
restricting it, not the "receiving" country.

So does that mean you can't distribute under the GPL at all, since these additional restrictions can't be added?
