Since upstream didn't send the blizzard TOS yet, i decided to google it
and found: http://www.battle.net/tou.shtml

The most interesting part is:

A. You are entitled to use Battle.net for your own personal use, but you
shall not be entitled to:
[..]

(ii) copy, photocopy, reproduce, translate, reverse engineer, modify,
disassemble, or de-compile in whole or in part any Battle.net software;

I am not a legal guru, but this seems to prohibit distribution of the
support files in non-free.
