Well you doubless lack the legal education of the district court judge so 
the conventional wisdom is that he is more likely to be correct than you. 
Even so, how do you think that Jacobsen can manage to show "irreparable 
harm" in regard to Katzer's use of the code?  Jacobsen, on his own admission 
is not after any benefit, so failure by Katzer to provide any would seem to 
be harmless in all cases.
