As long as you've stopped the attempt, have not distributed any
infringing copies and can still obtain a copy, possibly very little, I
would think. I don't know of a case where that's happened, though, and
you're probably safer asking licensing@gnu than me. (The MySQL case
involved distributed infringing copies IIRC.)
