Right to sue? This is civil contract law. Anybody has the right to try to sue anyone. If the claimant can convince a judge the software should be considered under the contract of the original GPL license, they could order it be complied with. Why? Because the GPL assigns rights to the recipient and user of the software. To not comply puts users at demonstrable loss.
And I don't see what's so strange about a court ordering the disclosure of source code. Loads of civil court rulings reassign property.
