Isn't there a clause like that in the GPLv3 which is one of the reasons Linus hates it?

GPLv3 is boring in this respect, because it lets violators come back into compliance and regain all rights after 60 days.

(I say boring, but this is definitely a good thing. See the Samba talks about GPLv3 from 2017 and 2011 for why)

GPLv2 works the same way for license violators. It would be sweet irony if they linked any GPL source into their codebase.
