The judgement is a preliminary injunction prior to a hearing. Presumably the respondents will present a case at the hearing - do we know if they will present arguments that the CC-By-SA license is somehow unenforceable? However, the description of the injunction does suggest that the court would take some persuading that the plaintiff's rights have not been infringed....
Note that Germany was the first country where the GPL was upheld in court against an infringer. That combined with this suggests the court system there is friendly to licenses meaning what they say.
Too bad Wikimedia TOS still labors under the misapprehension that the licence doesn't mean what it says.
