== New official AddOn policy from Blizzard == | |||
With the release of [[Patch 3.1]], [[Blizz]]ard introduced a new UI AddOn development policy.<ref name="policy">http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/policy/ui.html</ref> Here is a summary below: | |||
# AddOns must be free of charge. | |||
# AddOn code must be completely visible. | |||
# AddOns must not negatively impact World of Warcraft realms or other players. | |||
# AddOns may not include advertisements. | |||
# AddOns may not solicit donations. | |||
# AddOns must not contain offensive or objectionable material. | |||
# AddOns must abide by World of Warcraft ToU and EULA. | |||
# Blizzard Entertainment has the right to disable AddOn functionality as it sees fit. | |||
It isn't exactly clear how Blizzard plans to enforce this policy, but developers should follow the policy or risk some sort of exclusion of their AddOns from the game. The following sentence ends the introductory paragraph of the policy: "failure to abide by them may result in measures up to and including taking formal legal action."<ref name="policy"/> | |||
