Of course if a severe suspicion is claimed by someone, that a program is a clone, an independent legal instance is allowed to disassemble to check the facts, if the autor is not cooperative to show/explain his sources. I can't imagine that some commercial authors are happy if somebody else disassembles their program for academic reasons. Gerd
