If you didn't sign one, how can you possibly violate the terms? "3. The Licensee has no permission to sell, licence, give-away and/or distribute the Licensed Software Developer Kit or parts of it in any way, on any medium, including the Internet, to any other person, including sub-licensors of the Licensee or companies where the Licensee has any involvement. This includes re-working this specification, or reverse-engineering any products based upon this specification." The Licensee, Dave, is someone who has been granted a licence.
