![]() I believe therein lies your confusion as you mistake that to mean it "cannot be copyrighted. ![]() If you read this policy, you'll notice it requires add-on code to be not hidden or obfuscated and also distributed free of charge. What Blizzard has done is publish an official 'UI Add-on Development Policy' that from my understanding is enforced via their standard WoW ToU and EULA that we all agree to when we play their game.įor example, it is this Blizzard policy that restricts add-on authors from asking for donations in-game. ![]() You'll see many under MIT license, some GPL, amongst other choices made by the add-on author. When in doubt, assume the add-on has an ARR (All Rights Reserved) clause and check with the author to clarify what restrictions they place on distribution of their software.īlizzard has never dictated that add-ons for WoW use any particular software license. I had a vendor’s shop window open and my character screen open and I couldn’t click the cloak, I also couldn’t click Interface at the. It’s usually around the middle of the screen. Please read the license for each add-on you install if you want to understand how the software can be legally used. Ok I’m getting a bug and I’m not sure which addon is causing it, or if it’s even an addon, but I’m getting parts of the screen where i can’t click. The software license chosen is determined by the author of that add-on. Disclaimer, that like you I am also not a lawyer, but I will try to explain below how this actually works. Hum? Addons cannot be copyrighted they must be all open source and free to use else blizzard wouldn't allow it.This is simply not true.
