The term Game expressly excludes:

in each case irrespective of whether or not the primary purpose of such software is to entertain its user.

This is taken from the DarkGDK license. It seems to state that higher-level engines and/or tools may not be created using DarkGDK. If this is true, why do I see users not only constantly violating this, but TGC sells many of them (Dark Shader, Tree Majik, Plant Life, etc). I was thinking about working on a project of this type and would like clarification as to what is and is not allowed and why some are allowed and others are not.
Thank you.
