did you have to sign NDA? NO.
was click-through license required to get download? NO.

The is no restrictive license bound, and see DirectC
is not some "generic" JTAG wrapper it is ABSOLUTLY
Actel only code. So whatever you do with DirectC
it is only to program Actel FPGA's so I am confident
that there will be no issues.
