What is an injunction for past infringement?  An injunction would be
to prevent future infringement.

An injunction that requires the infringer to go back in time and not commit the infringement.

;-)

Well maybe one day in the future that will be possible :-)

Right now the reference is to (1) an injunction for mandatory relief requiring an infringer to take some action in respect of the past behaviour such as identifying 3rd parties to whom infringing copies were given
and (2) an injunction against future infringement which relies on the past infringement as the legal basis for the injunction by for example showing the consequences of the past action.
