'any more restrictive basis' would IMHO and IANAL include the use of
trademarks.
There is no restriction on the use, copying, modification,
redistribution of the code, which is what the GPL covers.
Since these restrictions do not exist, there is no conflict with
the GPL. Feel free to point out any case law which contradicts
this however, I'd definitely be interested in reading up on any
legal precedents.
