Well, Bell states that it is not privy to a purported copyright
transgression, and thus explicitly states that it has not availed
themselves of the GPL as a license, as they claim not to be in need of
any license at all from the plaintiff.
Which makes this case be a plain copyright-relevant-or-not case not
involving the GPL.
In short, again you post lots of stuff proving the point you are
feigning to counter.
Bell does exactly what I state a defendant would: declare whether they
consider themselves in need of a license at all, and their declaration
here is "no".
