It is a bit strange that the lawyer did not file a case under the right law and under the right court, since one would guess that is the job of the lawyer to know.

Then again a copyright license is a bit of a strange beast. I could rewrite a license as being a simple set of permission, with a list that goes through every combination of behavior for which the license permits. However doing so would be extremely impractical, so we instead have a bunch of permissions with added conditions. This in french law seems to then become a contract which has parties that has rights and obligations.
