From reading the FAQ it seems the terms are basically that you have to keep paying the license fee in order to release content updates for your games on platforms where you used any of their code to make the build. And since this is for the 3 major game console platforms, any code that touches the console SDKs is under the NDA you have to sign with the console platforms.
