You'd need a copyright owner to initiate legal action. And the FSF
generally is more concerned about source availability although
binaries are clearly derived from source and covered by the same
copyright, and I can't see any exception at least in GPLv2 about being
able to put additional redistribution/use restrictions on covered
binaries.
