Under the terms of the settlements, the publishers have to offer new contracts to all retailers (including Amazon). Since they are barred from offering Apple an MFN clause, they can similarly refuse to offer one to Amazon-and they'll be backed by the DOJ, who must approve these contracts. So Amazon's MFN clause is probably going away, for the settling publishers.
For Macmillan, (and for Tor) all MFN clauses will still be in effect.
