I am not a lawyer and I can only speak for the German system but judges actually consider the intent of a license/contract etc.. I doubt its 'worthless' because if you use this 'GPL' code commercially you still violate its conditions. They might be wrong in calling their license GPL but it is still their written will that you may not use their 'GPL' code in a commercial setting. After all, it is their intellectual property we are talking about here and they expressed their conditions quite clearly.
