If anything, it’s raising awareness of the fact that just because it’s on GitHub doesn’t mean it’s FOSS, and that developers need to pay attention to licensing before snatching someone’s work up for their own personal & commercial benefit.
In this case the license was silly, but if this library had been GPL, it’d still have been a massive violation by most of those big companies, and that’s something we need to pay more attention to.
