Since when is the GPL a license agreement? Last time I checked, it was a license.
Which means the user doesn't promise anything, such as to assume any kind of liability; he just gets a limited permission to use a product for something. OF COURSE it's then his responsibility to ensure that this something is within the law. It always was. I don't see MS or SCO coming out to protect you if you use their software for something illegal; quite the opposite in fact, if we are to believe their propaganda.
