To a point; as the post mentions, they added instructions for LLMs to their website and increased their licensing inquiries tenfold (the article didn't state anything about actual licensing payments being made though).

I don't think there would be any issues per se if the scrapers just paid licensing fees to get the good / complete data. But the issue was that they started to try and find exploits to get to data earlier.
