Yes, the copy I got has in the footer
Sold by the PDF Association to Ulrike Fischer XXXX | April 5, 2023 |
Single user only, copying and networking prohibited.
I wouldn't distribute it for the same reason I wouldn't distribute
pdf copies of the TeXbook.

What should happen? I bought a copy at a very good price (0€) and
now own it. If the sponsorship ends and the price goes up to 200 CHF
again nothing changes for me.
> What is there are updates (unlikely anyway).
Amendments to ISO document typically have to be buyed too, e.g.
amendment 1 (which is part of the bundled offered by pdfa) normally
costs 17 CHF.
Personally I think that the PDF Association made a very good job
here (they worked hard on it), I'm quite grateful for it and I hope
that there will more of these offers (personally I would like to get
pdf/A-4 and the upcomming pdf/UA-2).
