Who *cares* if she "doesn't want to" be the first judge to rule on a GPL case? When anti-murder laws were invented, would it have been OK for judges to try to shirk judging on *those*, just so they weren't the first to judge one...?
Yeah, once she does that this case is in the Courts for good. What's wrong with that? Isn't that where it fucking well *belongs*?!? Actually, one would have thought some unknown little judge would *jump at the chance* to get her name in the books as a vital precedent; and especially so when it's as simple and obvious a case as this.
Also, who the fuck does she think she is, putting *her* "intention" of having the parties settle it between themselves, above her *duty to uphold the law*, which Progress is at the moment breaking? (AFAICS, a *criminal* violation of copyright law) Isn't that the fucking JOB SHE GETS PAID TO DO?!?
What she's saying, according to your reading of her intentions, is essentially: "Yeah yeah, mr Assfuck might be breaking his contract with mr Buttfuck by having murdered mrs Buttfuck... But can't they just settle this peacefully between themselves?" -- What the fucking FUCK?!?
