So plaintiffs want to settle (having fruitless negotiations thus far)
and are asking delay of a conference meant to encourage defendants to
settle?

-----
An informal conference among opposing attorneys and the judge in which
the issues are narrowly spelled out, and that, in civil cases, allows
the judge to encourage both parties toward reaching a settlement.

To me it appears that plaintiffs simply don't want the judge to hear
anything about the GPL and their "license not a contract" copyright
based enforcement theory (filing copyright infringement complaint
without bothering to register copyrights to establish court's
jurisdiction).

Could it be that plaintiffs are afraid that the judge will dismiss their
cockamamie case sua sponte right at the conference?
