Absolutely. The prohibition on 3rd-party software is very simple at it's heart, and there's really only one rule*: nothing the program can do can in any way affect or alter the EQ software.

* OK really there are two rules; also: programs which read anything but logs are also banned, even if they don't affect the EQ software

So GINA is perfectly legal because all it does is read the log files (legit) and show stuff on your screen separately from the EQ game (also legit). But the moment you hack your GINA to start pressing buttons for you in-game (or doing anything like that) you're cheating.
