Especially if you are NOT modifying their code. If you are modifying the code well... that's a dif story then.
This is just flat out wrong. Blizzard did not assert any ownership of addons, the copyright on the addons, nor did it dictate how an addon must be licensed. All Blizzard did was notify people the conditions under which they would prevent an addon from operating in WoW.
