I agree that could be the case, but I think it depends on exactly
where in the distribution the language appears. It *could* be
stated in such a way to include the laws in the license.
It would clearly be DFSG-free if the various copyright blurbs said
something like
Copyright YYYY N.N. This software is covered by the GNU
General Public Licence [blah blah] with the added condition
that the following notice (which is not itself part of the
license conditions) must be attached to any copy of the
software:
Please note that U.S. law makes it illegal for citizens
with big beards to export this software to Antarctica.
[blah blah]
which ought to make everyone happy.
