Well Doug,
you're in the UK, so part of the European Community.
And since you requested information from Yamaha and got none, you are
now legally clean of action due to the law that you may
disassemble/reverse engineer their drivers to obtain the information you
need to program the driver.
For once, a cool law in Europe.
