I do realize that I sound pig-headed, but a license is an agreement.

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.
