I wasn't aware you needed a license to use the DVD format. Does this deprecation of the licensing scheme suggest any opportunities for creative uses of DVD?

What's the situation for Blu-Rays?

I think you needed a license to use the logo, not necessarily to use the format.

This. If you ever saw budget DVDs without the actual DVD logo (the one seen in the upper right corner of the link), but with a DVD logo of a completely different style, this is why.
