So, after initial fallout it is a long-term win for software industry, right? ;)

Yea, though the fallout will be pretty bad when IBM comes trolling around with their shiny new copyright on SQL. Copyright lasts 70 years from the death of the author, so IBM would be handed an active infringement claim on basically every company that has ever sold a database product.
I hope Oracle gets hit extra hard in that case
