I don't see the problem. While the CAFC interpreted the Artistic License as imposing a scope of use, I don't see why it or the GPL could not also impose a condition precedent. Before you satisfy the redistribution conditions in the GPL for a specific copy that you have made, you are not authorized to distribute that copy, although you were authorized to make the copy and keep and use it privately. If this still bothers you, consider the condition as a condition concurrent and not a condition precedent.
