I am stateing the point of view that it doesnt matter what the Lience says. You then saying look your wrong, doesnt make my point of view any more or less correct.
It is my point of view.
BUT, Probalby the most applicable court case to date is;
Florida Resident’s Unofficial Guide to “World of Warcraft” Does Not Violate Copyright, Infringe Upon Video Game Maker’s Intellectual Property

Now who do you think is right? Becasus this case is about a clause which is the the relevent clause in Ids Licenses. I belive in this case blizard are wrong. You may think otherwise.
I think tho that what would most pursuade me that I didnt need any permission to sell some data that could be loadedin to Quake 4 is

"In the majority of cases in software, patents [affect] independent invention. Get a dozen sharp programmers together, give them all a hard problem to work on, and a bunch of them will come up with solutions that would probably be patentable, and be similar enough that the first programmer to file the patent could sue the others for patent infringement. Why should society reward that? ... The programmer that filed the patent didn't work any harder because a patent might be available, solving the problem was his job and he had to do it anyway. ... Yes, it is a legal tool that may help you against your competitors, but I'll have no part of it. It's basically mugging someone."
