MEAT: I was basically trying to say that your argument was extremely poorly constructed and your link in no way supported your argument. If you actually read the page nowhere does it have any "general battle.net rules", it's simply a general FAQ about all aspects of Blizzard's business.
I looked for a "battle.net rules" page and the only thing that comes close is the TOU which is the TOU for all of battle.net. Furthermore, The TOU is not even a liscense per se, it is simply a list of conditions for using battle.net, the infringement of which Blizzard responds to by simply disallowing the use of battle.net. Not only that, if you link to the terms of use from the Arreat Summit, it points to exactly the same page.
Maybe somewhere you read some press release or something on diabloii.net about Blizzard "treating all third party programs as hacks". That is certainly within reason, although I couldn't find it, but it still does not support your case as it is not a double implication. All "hacks" may be third party, but not all third party software are hacks.
Sorry but it just really frustrates me when people use faulty logic and don't even take the time to read their own sources.
