"You may not use or distribute this Software and any derivative works

SSCLI 2.0 can be freely downloaded by everyone, license is also
certainly available to read.
IANAL, but as far as I can tell, such a license is not compatible with
the GPL since it imposes "further restrictions on the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted" (GPL version 2, section 6).
