This is similar to the software and equipment used to steal Directv signals.

The equipments have legal uses but its sale and distribution is against the law because it can be used to reprogram DTV access cards.

I somehow think that the same law should apply here

>Hi John. I am not a lawyer so I do not know what this act implies for Refox. However the idea of taking Refox to court does not quite make sense to me. They provide a product which helps you recover your source code from your exe if you have lost the original code. If someone misuses this tool then surely that person should be punished, not the tool maker? This would be the same as taking key manufacturers to court because someone used a master key to break into your house. And by the way, there are several decompilers for VFP apps around. Refox are not the only ones.
