I know of several engineering companies who took aerial photos with R/C airplanes. Ranging from project sites, to land surveying, to real estate, etc. Does this ruling stop them from doing what they have been doing since the 1990s?

AFAIK, that always used a loophole - you're not charging for the photos, you're charging for the service of engineering work.
Looks like this makes that legal.
Or, you could say that it was never illegal...
