Please remember that your ADC Confidentiality Agreement covers all software downloaded from connect.apple.com that has not publicly been announced on the non-subscription portions of ADC.

So was Xcode 2.2.1 a weird case? It was shipping with Intel Macs, but was not a "public" download - you had to log into your ADC account to grab it for PPC (I'm assuming you also had to have an ADC seed, but I'm not 100% sure on that).
2.2.1 was not seeded until it was released (like all the Intel software). Any software that's not marked "GM" (Golden Master, or shipping) is usually marked "Preview" or "Seed" or "Beta". It's those that are covered under ADC confidentiality. GM releases are public, whether it requires ADC login to download them or not. (While 2.2.1 is download-only for technical reasons, it's available to all ADC members, even online members, and doesn't require a seed key—because it's final, not a seed).
I've been informed (we inside Engineering don't see the ADC site the way you do) that the downloads are poorly marked as to confidentiality status. I've asked ADR to clear that up.
