You won't see that this time either. If we make it through an actual
court ruling, the outcome will be either that there was copying without
permission (which is a ruling on the merits of copyright), or that the
defendants would do better to come into compliance with any purported
license they claim to have been given, GPL or not.
Or a defendant can show that he is not in fact distributing the
software.

The topic will be "copyright". The GPL is what helps the defendants out
of the court, not what brings them into it.
So it is not likely there will be much to see.
