Illegal work???

Well I´m quite sure, that it´s _not_ illegal!

Of course disassembling is in principle _not_ forbidden at all _by_law_, it
can only be forbidden by the author of any program, _if_ he explicitely says
in his license text, that disassembling or reverse engineering is not allowed!

Is this written in Rybka´s license anywhere? I don´t think so ...
