I'm not sure I understand...

What happens if - say: 

Belgium decides that it's illegal to distribute code that wasn't
produced in Belgium or by Belgian programmers only. (replace Belgium by
any country if you want)

Would that mean that you wouldn't be able to create any program with the
GPL license just because they would all be illegal in Belgium ?
