as far as i understand it, the outcome varies for different licenses but under AGPLv3 the cure provision is that once the 30 days are up, the license is revoked and legally speaking that means Truth social would be not only using but distributing unlicensed software. in that case, Mastodon has full and complete legal grounds to successfully sue them for copyright infringement.
Thank you
