If the suit is sure to fail, why is Monsoon so eager to settle? Are

That's not what's at issue. What's at issue is whether a party can copy
and make derivative works without permission. Obviously copyright law
does say something about that.
To get permission to copy/distribute, Monsoon has to adhere to the terms
of the license. It really is that simple.
