I also asked the question, and got an answer. The hypothesis is that they'll release new versions under a different license, also meaning that if the devs never agree to the new license, they'd avoid the fee. Of course, that would mean that any engine level bugs in their game would become unfixable. This also means that large developers would be exempt, as they likely have contracts in place that supersede the license agreement.
