I assume by licensing you mean making money off the map. The most likely move by Blizzard is to prohibit anyone making money in any way, shape or form off their maps that does not use their built-in publishing system. I highly doubt they will accept any other terms. Look at people who make mods in wow. They aren't even allowed to mention donations in-game.
By licensing I mean things like permissions to reproduce, modify, make derivatives of, etc.
IE: GNU-GP License, CDD License, or BSD License.
In short: I want to have certain maps licensed so people cannot modify them, reproduce them, make derivatives of without documented consent from me. Other maps I want to have completely public and all that stuff.
To what level are we allowed to license our maps and not conflict with the terms set by Blizzard?
Like can we use whatever license we so choose, or are our choices limited?
