I have replied to the IP at Media Copyright Questions where he raised the same issue. As you say, the settlement does not affect the copyright status of the image.

PETA dropped its lawsuit contesting the copyright. You can't (legally) claim it is public domain. Nor could you after the 2016 ruling, either, for that matter. — Preceding

PETA was claiming this the monkey had a copyright to the image since it took the camera and pressed the button. Wikipedia' position was that neither party had a copyright since the cameraman did not take the picture and the minkey did not have the rights to it either so a ruling that the monkey did not save a copyright does not prove that the picture is not public domain. Logically, if Wikipedia believe this thr monkey had a copyright they wouldn't have considered the image public domain in the first place.--
