Oh, here's a way to make this even worse.

Code review. I sometimes get asked to review patches for code I know nothing about, simply because I am very good at analyzing code in terms of theoretical language or API conformance. I know Lua.

Imagine that I weren't a WoW player, and someone who knew about my background wanted to hire me to review some Lua code, check for possible errors, and so on.

If that code is a WoW addon, this appears to be prohibited by the policy, but... On what grounds? I don't see anything that explains how I can be prohibited from charging my usual consulting rates for something I do professionally.

I'm pretty sure the intent is to ban subscriptions for updates or whatever, but code review for an addon is clearly a service pertaining to an addon, right?
