Will Finish Post Soon, If you wish to confirm this is the EULA for Mount and Blade: Warband, it is possible to email Talesworld for your own copy of the EULA to look at if you cannot find it elsewhere.

Excerpts of Note:

"All patches, updates or other downloadable material used by, or incorporated into, the Program are the copyrighted property of Paradox Interactive AB or its licensors who reserve all rights therein, and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement." (2.Ownership)

"  C. You are entitled to use the Program for your own use, but you are not entitled to:
   (iii) use or allow third parties to use the Editor and the New Materials created thereby for commercial purposes, including, but not limited to, distribution of New Materials on a stand-alone basis or packaged with other software or hardware through any and all distribution channels, including, but not limited to, retail sales and on-line electronic distribution, without the express written consent of Paradox Interactive AB; " (3.Responsibility of the End User)

And there is much else to read, excerpts alone do not make up the entire eula.

None of that is what is now allowed in NI. Again, people aren't selling the game files ("patches, updates or other downloadable material"). Nor is this the same as using the "Editor" and "New Materials" (which you don't include the section of the agreement defining these proper nouns) for commercial purposes. Were any of the contributed game materials sold? No.

Just compare those excerpts you gave to what I gave. It's nothing alike because it's covering entirely different situations.
