Hi Craig,

>The keyword being "possibly". If someone owns the code, then there is no problem. If you have a license agreement that prohibits this, then yes, there is a problem.

Not sure about this but I'd say that the next steps should be respected:

1. If a license agreement says it's ok to reverse-engineer it then no problem.
2. If the license agreement prohibits it than you can't do it.
3. If there's no license agreement then it means that before reverse-engineering the software, authorization from the legal owner should be obtained. If for whatever reasons you can't reach the legal owner than you can't reverse-engineer the software.

Does that seem ok to you?
