Hi and welcome to the community. Thanks for taking the time to answer all of the questions.

Since your product contains a WoW add-on that uses parts of "Blizzards UI that provide some handy features". If you are not aware of Blizzard's Add-on developer policy you might want to review it. I am not a lawyer - nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn express last night - but, selling your add-on as part of GCP may run afoul of it. I'm not sure how the rules work on it exactly but you may be able to provide the add-on for free and charge for the external program part of your product. I will leave it to you to find the loop holes.
Easy enough, release the addon base separately for free. Doesn't do anyone any good without the tool to configure it.
My second concern is that you push updates to the addon portion. Whether it happens automatically or manually, I am not sure it falls within "legal" bounds, especially if the game is running and the player is in combat.
By push I would assume that he means "write a text file to your addons folder, or update a saved variable in a wtf file" which means wow only reads it at reloadui or startup. Anything other than this and it would be a VERY bad thing.
Have you made any efforts to be vetted by Blizzard? I know they are VERY heistant to say anything is ok and fall back to the mantra of 1 keypress 1 action per account. With all of your fancy hocus pocus and macro creation going on it seems like it might be hard for the user to know for sure if that rule is really being adhered to. I am also concerened with Warden. I don't know how it works but, if it sees a process writing to WoW directories it might be less then pleased.
Blizzard won't vette anything - seriously people need to give up on that concept. Someone is going to pull the "Well they said KeyClone is fine by name..." and I'm going to point out that was over a year ago and no other product has ever been mentioned by name again, AND blizzard hasn't thumbs upped a single added feature to KeyClone or reconfirmed it's status.

We have a general set of rules to live by, we do that or we get banned. Works better in Blizzards favor if they can ban for ANYTHING.
