Finding everything I changed would be near impossible as I kept no record of every line / variable, I just mowed ahead with fixing it.
Obfuscation? Seriously?

Copying from the official WoW forums:

"2) Add-on code must be completely visible.
The programming code of an add-on must in no way be hidden or obfuscated, and must be freely accessible to and viewable by the general public. "

What scares me now is that if I use something that I know (or have a reasonably good idea) that breaks the ToS (and the ToS does include forum info IIRC), then aren't I in violation of the ToS by using it?
