Re: Are they obligued to give me the source code?

I'm not sure that such a ruling would have any effect - I don't believe it is possible for a court to impose additional restrictions or requirements beyond those in the license in question. It's possible that they can do this for a particular company and a particular case, as a punishment for not following the license in the first place, but there is no way a court can add requirements to a license in general.

If course they were hearing a dedicate case. But as it supposedly is the first ruling in such a case, other judges will follow that argument.
