I think the mere fact this is an engine license change happening so close to the Unity fiasco that yes, it is impossible to talk about this without automatically invoking thoughts of what Unity did. Some news and blogs will take advantage of this association and use it for clicks.

Are you suggesting it's impossible to avoid being misleading, or do you have a solution in mind? Since you didn't really answer my question.

If it's the former then I think that absolves the author.

I just read through this chain of comments and I do think there is a lot of talking past each other.

I do not think the author was purposefully being misleading. I do not think they need absolution for anything. I think it may be interperted as misleading by some (as it did for the original commentor) based on the reader's recent experiences with Unity and the latest drama; which is not a property of the article, the headline, or the author - but the reader.
