No. A preliminary injunction was denied because the plaintiffs
did not demonstrate the likelihood of irreparable harm should
the preliminary injunction not be granted. And that's *did not*,
not *could not* - they didn't try, because they thought they
didn't have to:

It is important to note, however, that Jacobsen pled
his case assuming the availability of a presumption of
irreparable harm on a motion for preliminary injunction
in a copyright infringement case. If Jacobsen had been
aware at the pleading stage that evidence of actual harm
would be of critical importance to his ability to obtain
a preliminary Court cites to the portion of the Federal
Circuit’s decision which states there are economic
benefits to the distribution of open source software,
including increase of market share and the reputation of
a programmer or company. The District Court’s reasoning
implies that had Jacobsen proffered any evidence of harm
suffered related to these potential economic benefits,
the outcome might have been different.
