You need to write the link in html, not org:

#+begin_html
  <a href="http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0";><img
src="http://img.shields.io/:license-gpl-blue.svg";
alt=":license-gpl-blue.svg" /></a>
#+end_html

I can't replicate that, for me it exports to

\href{http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0}{\url{http://img.shields.io/:license-gpl-blue.svg}}

and compiles just fine.
