STC is over. It's done. They're not doing any more Trek. Trek Continues LLC doesn't even own the sets any longer.CBS never went into detail why Vic got a pass, so we don't really know why they didn't hit Vic with legal stuff. Vic's fantastic production value and having former Trek professionals running it behind the curtains and exploiting the franchises most popular characters and using CBS IP was a huge violation to the guidelines. There's nothing in the guidelines states a fan-production get a pass because one already had funding.
If the material is in good taste, CBS should leave them be. Fan films helps the property and it drives other would be filmmakers to buy costumes or make them and create their own Trek film. CBS can't sue everybody and I think it's in poor taste when they go after some but give the biggest violator of the guidelines a pass.
They stopped crowdfunding when the guidelines came out, and used private funding to finish up. From what I gather, most principal photography was already completed by that time anyway.
The STC folks have moved on to other things. Maybe that's the example to follow here.
