From what I can tell (and I really don't know) it's rooted in Section 4.5:

4.5 No Modification or Reverse Engineering. You shall not modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works based upon the Software. You shall not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software.

Exactly why they're afraid this would be binding I don't know, IP law is beyond me.
