I read through your post and you bring up many valid points. However, I disagree with your suggestion of WoWInterface enforcing a non-ARR licensing.

A lot of effort goes into writing AddOns, and there is nothing gained in return, other than the acknowledgement that the author wrote said AddOn. I know from personal experience that this alone is enough for some people to maintain it; making it open source, for instance, while they still put all of the effort into it, might make them feel less respected.

I fear that if a particular type of licensing is enforced, then authors who disagree with it may simply go elsewhere to upload their AddOns.
