IANAL, but the license is something the rightsholder distributes so that others know what they can and can't do with a copyrighted work. It doesn't apply to the rightsholder past putting down to paper what they can't get litigious at you for. (EDIT: reading the GitHub thread, it seems a bit more complicated than that due to outside contributions back to Audacity still being GPL)
GPL still applies to the last version it was distributed with.

I don't know about today's youth, but I know in my generation we did a fair bit of checking boxes that said we were 18+ when we weren't.
