I think its more that the cases pursued have been about wholesale abuse of the GPL not about precise fine points. When you have someone committing outright blatant breaches of the licence its quite different to a philosophical dispute about a cornercase. If you talk to a copyright lawyer you will find they can provide a lot of guidance based upon prior caselaw in other areas (combining works in books, setting works to music etc) where a great deal of caselaw has been produced and many consider can be mapped reasonably onto arguments about other areas. That is however a discussion to have with someone qualified to practice that area of law.
