A distribution doesn't have to be a fork. I can make my own tarball
of Emacs any time without forking anything. I can at that time add to
the "official" Emacs any suitably licensed code I choose. According
to Jambunathan, I cannot include his code in such a distribution:

So it's not GPL, it's "GPL with buts", a.k.a. non-free.
(Arguably, this is my interpretation of his intentionally vague
statement above. But given his unwillingness to explain those
restrictions, what other device do I have but interpret that in the
most extreme sense?)
