"no permission is given to distribute covered works that illegally invade users' privacy"
C'mon, it's not GPL that forbids that, it's the law itself, after all it just says that you can't use GPL to distribute something that is illegal. But... you're not allowed to *do* something illegal anyway... If you're violating the law, violating a licence is much lighter...
