ZAM: Since the LUA programming language is open source and free to the public,
Eugh!

Also more conspiracies to the mix, maybe someone should have told her, Blizz are doing this for the advertising monies.

The MDY case is going to be appealed by MDY to the Ninth Circuit. Until the 9th Circuit rules on it, Blizzard will use the MDY case and its new policies as precedent to support shutting down the commercial add-on developers if they do not comply with the new Blizzard UI/add-on policies and the TOU/EULA.
It's good to see we have an impartial lawyer here.


Under the new policy, the add-on/mod developers must make their code available to the public (including Blizzard). Blizz can use this information to create something similar and can probably do so without violating copyright laws.
Because Blizzard can't break the Carbonite obfuscation and/or create something better without looking at the code. Clearly Warhammer online created a Cabonitesque system by stealing Carbonites code.


Folks I think we all now know the reason Glider lost their case.
