I believe you can only use obfuscation in your AddOns, when you have asked explicit permission from Blizzard (or when you're writing a personal AddOn that you are not going to release, but what is the point of obfuscation then?). I remember Peggle / Bejeweled were obfuscated with luasrcdiet.
On a different topic, I wonder what the Statute of limitations(or do you call it prescription??) are for AddOns, since there's different law enforcements(I assume EU, USA and Asian regions all have different timespans). I hope there's never going to be any occasion that will play a role. Lucky Blizzard brings us content every half year or so, so chances are small
