She is correct, Carbonite has been cleared by Blizzard as in compliance with their ToS. This was something that Carbonite wanted and did as soon as Blizzard released the new ToS compliance requirements.
However, under general comprehension of most people (from what I have heard, I'm not a programmer nor do I look into it) the code is obfuscated because it's renamed (or not named for functions) and the codes move locations each release. Also, the code doesn't have a good commenting about what each part does as a lot of script writers like to do. This does not go against Blizzard because everything is still visible, accessible and given enough time and attention, someone (like Rythal) could go through the whole code and decode it all if they wanted to.
