The trick here is that licenses that restrict so-called reverse engineering are dependent upon the judicial region in which the reverse engineering is to be performed.
This is because some places allow this sort of reverse engineering, some allow it if the license allows it, and some disallow it unless the license allows it, while there are a few who disallow it even if the license allows it. As you could see from the horrid syntactical nature of that paragraph and thereby the complexity of the issue it is describing, Mr. Miller might quite reasonably want to avoid confronting it, particularly when a large corporation with many lawyers might become involved in the dispute. Now this does bring up another issue, to wit: what could he do if he did not know that some code was created through the study of Sun code? --- Admar Schoonen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ...However, I don't > know if > it's allowed to study CCDL licensed code and then write some similar > code with > a non CCDL license. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
