Why can't the judge decide forfeiture of the proprietary source code is the appropriate penalty?Because that is not one of the remedies for infringement set forth in 17 U.S.C. 504.

But forefeiture is one of the remedies set forth in 17 U.S.C. 506. My question still stands.

Forfeiture of their rights to use the work they infringed upon. Not forfeiture of any of their own copyrights.
