I wrote this in a hurry and wanted to clarify something I said here before
someone jumps on it; I was referring to *using* this reverse-engineered
code (or any other code - I don't know why I got specific) without
permission.  I don't have such strong opinions about reverse-engineering
in general, just the use of its output in unauthorized situations. It's
the specific illicit use of code that belongs to someone else that rubs me
the wrong way.

Just didn't want to sink my foot too deeply into my mouth :)
