I disagree. The DFSG speaks explicitly of the licenses of the software being distributed; software that may be illegal to use or distribute for reasons *other than the license of the copyright holder* has been regarded as DFSG-compliant, even when it was not possible for us to distribute the software in question. Compare non-US vs. non-US/non-free, for example. If it is not *safe* for us to distribute a given piece of software because of the legal climate, that's one thing; but the freeness of a piece of software is not typically something that's subject to the vagaries of local law.
