You're wrong, sortof.  Specifically, the GPL doesn't allow others to place
more restrictions than the GPL on code.  You can do it, but others can't
do it with your code even if you did, unless you explicitly permit it.

Of course, you lose the ability to borrow other people's GPL'd code if you
do this.
