Yep, it does seem like this case is tying up in a pretty satisfying manner. However...

more people are paying attention to the sustainability issues endemic to the open source scene.

This is definitely nowhere near a new problem, or a new conversation. I'm very much an outsider, but it seems like increased awareness and conversation isn't as effective as it could be about actually shifting the status quo.

Increased awareness is certainly a marginal improvement at best. But I don't think there was ever any chance of ads in standard being the lucky pebble that turns the struggles and discontents of maintainers, contributors, and users into the kind of avalanche that might reshape the politics of software development.
