MPEG puts teeth into nothing; it has never done so, and it will never do so
(nor does it have anything whatsoever to do with
licensing terms, by the way).
It was up to the ATSC to voluntarily conform to the full MPEG-2 specification;
they choose not to do so (which as you point out was
bad form on ATSC's part). By selecting a subset, they suffer the consequences
in a world where others have chosen to be fully
conformant, and MPEG-2 bitstreams cross DTV domain boundaries increasingly
easily.

Conformance to the MPEG-2 standard would have been the best approach, but MPEG
did not put any teeth into conformance.
