Haven't seen the license you have mentioned here with prohibition of
redistribution but it reminds me a license that Novell had released some
time ago mentioning a disabling function inside the distro. It read...

*"...The Software may contain an automatic disabling mechanism that prevents
its use after a certain period of time, so You should back up Your system
and take other measures to prevent any loss of files or data..."

*Refer: Slashdot <http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/19/1834219>

I don't understand how does this clause fits in with the GPL.

Agreed. :)  Let's give it a rest now.
