GPL (v2) specifically says you must make recipient aware of their rights & not impose restrictions on exercise of those rights.

No restrictions are imposed on them. They are free to publish it if they choose to. There's no agreement forbidding them from doing that.
-
Not writing down the restriction does not make it less a restriction. If the cause/effect happen, it is one. Courts WILL agree.

Saying that doesn't make it true and the customer has no grounds to be a plaintiff. That would be Linux kernel developers.
