So... you're pretty much just calling Valve hypocrites?
Team Fortress isn't really a clone of Half Life because the gameplay is very different. They may run on the same engine, but that doesn't mean they're the same game.
The reason many call Terraria a MC clone is because Terraria uses the same gameplay ideas (cellular-automata world, mining, crafting) with seemingly few surface changes. Now, I wouldn't say they're the same game, but one very obviously takes much of its gameplay from the other.
