Doesn't this make it illegal to distribute GPL software in France under clause 12? If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. Since allowing the licensor to revoke the licence would be an extra condition.

It doesn't make the distribution illegal per-se, but it does make the license invalid and thus the software unlicensed. Same as "public domain" licensing.

  No it doesn't. If you don't have a license for the software, you cannot use it.
