The problem with this IMO is that some enterprising person will just use regular tailwind (or another utility-css framework like tachyons) and re-implement all of these components and give it out for free, circumventing the license and killing the value of this.
Normally with themes it would be time prohibitive to do so, but the nature of utility-css is that it's relatively straightforward to implement each component, even without looking at the CSS that's obviously easy to inspect.
I think what they should do is build a tool that let's you build your entire site using these components and charge for that. Otherwise, I guarantee within a year of today, 2/26/20 there will be a free version of this on GitHub created by the community.

On a side note, if some bored person out there wants to make a huge splash in the CSS community, figuring out a way to target a specific DOM element, create the equivalent of an AST and specify a "dictionary", which would be a utility-css framework (tailwind, tachyons, basecss, etc) and finally reimplement the targeted DOM element in the chosen framework would be amazing.
Assuming you buy into utility-css, that would remove all existing friction in adopting it. Then that would mean you could grab an existing theme [1] and convert it to tailwind components as desired.
