It's not really a "lot" of money (though, some people might think that $30 is a lot).
Also, it looks like it's only for CA. I think this will only highly affect business owners (some business might have hundreds or thousands of licenses for MS products, resulting in lots of $$).
I read the Summary Notice from the link.
