No. Their statement as part of a settlement has no bearing on unrelated parties. It's not precedent.

And the code is already open source, so anyone and everyone has full rights to do anything they want within the license. No one is capable of DMCAing it (or rather, anyone is, but the author can trivially point to the license giving them the full right to modify and redistribute in a counterclaim).
