Sounds a lot like client extending to me as well so I'd say no. It would mainly depend on how you gather the information. If you gather it through logs written on your pc by the EVE client, or other (publicly/local) available data, you might get a yes out of it but since you want to monitor the screen, I have my doubts.
As for EVEMon, afaik this also works when the EVE client is not running (I have no experience with this program), which means it gets it's data in a way that CCP enabled (probably the character API). I know that the visuals on-screen are also provided by CCP, but using this is, to me at least, a whole other way for gathering information compared to gathering it through logs/API's.
I'd say figure out what the 'best way' of gathering the needed information is, in a way that gives you the most chance of approval. Perhaps it is possible to get the information through another way than through scanning the screen. Once you have done this, open a petition where you explain the way you gather the data and what the app does, then cross your fingers.
Kind regards,

I fail to see how ccp can detect your software if it reads screen and does actions on your computer. Though i think you would still need auto interact if you wanted it usable with populated local? From his description is kind of does, however you have to select-all & copy to get the list of pilots into the clipboard.
As far as I understood it's not a matter of selecting all and copying it to the clipboard, instead he wants the software to make a screenshot, scan that for certain tags in front of a pilot's name and make a sound based on its findings. This would have some troubles when the list is too big for everyone in local to be on-screen, and possibly even with different kinds of tags people use but that's a whole different topic.
