IANAL, but I think if server owner's jurisdiction prevents them from using software without obtaining a license and this jurisdiction allows this exact kind of noncompliance to void the whole license (which is not always the case) - probably yes, it has a meaning.
Obviously, it only matters if someone notices the noncompliance and lack of the license. For example if Mojang actually sues.

There are tens of thousands of private servers out there - the effort they play at expending on shutting down the despicable and horrible and bad and terrible practice of paid perks could be better redirected at further developing their games. This is the kind of priority fail I'd expect from EA or some other massive publisher, not an indie rockstar like Mojang.
- drdaeman 12y agoYou see, the discussion - as I get it - was about very status of the copyright law - i.e. whenever there's a legal basis for a lawsuit or Mojang threats are void. It wasn't about server operators who don't give a damn about that - sure there are some.
