Player statistics are public domain

A federal appeals court has ruled that fantasy baseball companies do not have to pay licensing fees to use player names and statistics.

My question immediately following is: will this affect licensing fees on other companies that use player names and statistics as part of a product? For example, the video game industry pays licensing fees for the use of team logos and such, but I'm pretty sure they're charged for the use of player names and statistics as well.
