As I understood it, the real barrier was the NDA for *released* code, and that's the portion which was dropped. Thus, unless you're registered in the for-pay ordeal, you probably won't be seeing the new licensing in your e-mail. At least, that's how I interpreted it. I likewise have not received that e-mail, and I've attributed it to not yet having signed up for the actual distributor's license (which I was planning to avoid doing until the application was at least passable in the simulator).
