GPL'ed code is probably legal in this case, because they don't distribute publicly. It would be a decently easy case to make in an international IP court that distribution within North Korea is not a public release. However, if a North Korean citizen demanded the source code for Red Star, they may be obligated to provide it, lest they are in violation of the GPL.
