You can't breach a contract you never agreed to. If you say you're using it under the license and do so incorrectly, then yes, it's breach of contract, but if you just use it without reference to the license (which is what we're talking about here, as far as I know), then the license doesn't apply and it's copyright violation.

Well, I don't really trust the register to accurately report the details of the case, but from what they've said, I can't see how the judge's reasoning makes any sense at all. That article only seems to be addressing a preliminary injunction, rather than a full case, so it's far from a final decision.
