The GPL is a contract/license; it cannot trump the law itself. You can’t slap a GPL license on porn and then distribute it to minors.

It may mean you can’t distribute at all if you can’t comply with the law and the license.

I agree that the license doesn't make it legal. But if the law says X and the license says not X, then you can not use the license.
