> leaves only two claims standing: one accusing the companies of an open-source license violation and another alleging breach of contract

these seem to be major claims?

It really depends, even if found to be in violation of the license the outcome could be "promise not to do it again".

Could still be monumental if that creates the case law to be referenced in the future. Lawsuits are a lot easier to start when you know you're going to win because a previous case was extremely similar, which is to say this could have a major impact on the industry even if the punishment (this time, for doing it while it was uncharted territory) was a slap on the wrist

Read the decision, the breach of contract claim simply survived dismissal, but the surrounding discussion makes it clear it doesn't have much of a prayer (which is the same as the "open-source license violation", the OP article is trash).
