    I don't know how it works... but I know you're not supposed to charge for an addon.

    If the program is a licensing device of some sort, to all the addon to work...
    But doesn't actually do anything else.

    And the addon, which uses Blizzard provided API achieves its' magic via the addon system...
    It could very well be removed tomorrow, for bypassing a feature which was removed.
    But then again, so could IWT -- whether with a Vendor, a Mount or a player Druid in Stag Form.

    If it uses Blizzard addon code (the Blizzard API) to do its' functionality, it is allowed within Warcraft until such time as Blizzard changes their API to disallow whatever functions the addon uses.

    IS Boxer has the ability to withhold the sending of keys, despite having the keys pushed.
    So if this program/addon were to broadcast your movement key (on the main) to W + A + D on the slaves, and then withheld the A and D on occasion... to correct your aim...
    As long as everything that determined positioning was done with the Blizzard API (functionality provided for addons to use), it would be entirely fine.



    On the other hand, if it reads memory or otherwise scans the game, then it probably isn't going to be allowed long term.

    I could also see including the program, as a requirement for the addon to function, entirely so that it is the program that is being charged for... and the addon is free.

    I don't know enough of how this works to comment.
    If it relies on the API, whether that functionality of the API is being used as intended or not, then it is fine to use.

    Again though, that is speculation.
    Keyclone has been legit forever, and a part of the boxing community far longer than myself.
    That he has developed it, and not someone who is new/unknown to the community, supports that it might not be against the ToS/EULA.
    But I don't really know...
