nUI's considered response to Bliz's new addon guidelines...

[spiel2001]

It seems to be kind of a gray area... Cairenn and the Carbonite folks seem to feel it's okay. I've asked Blizzard directly and receive no response whatsoever to my inquiry.

For now, I tend to read the "no service related to an add-on" to include support since that is clearly a service related to an add-on. However, it may be something Bliz is willing to permit. I dunno. I just really wish they would do something to indicate to the community "Hey, we hear your comments and we're looking at them all and making revisions" if nothing else.

/sigh

My concern is this... I'm a fighter and my nature is to go toe to toe with Blizzard and make them put their lawyers where their mouth is. I volunteered for Army duty in the 70s because I fundamentally believe in right and wrong, fighting for your beliefs, etc. However, I also understand the concept of a greater good... if I go toe to toe with Blizzard and they ban nUI, I'm not the one that gets punished, my users are.

That's where Blizzard has me bent over.

All I can do is try to be creative and to see where this topic leads. I am talking with lawyers and I do have representation, but for now I'm choosing to comply and give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt... and look out for my users. We'll see where it goes from there ~smile~
