I guess I'm wondering what the legal definition of "reverse-engineer" means. To me that means disassemble. If I just write something that happens to have the same interface, inputs and outputs, to me that doesn't qualify as "reverse-engineer" but maybe thats just me. When my 5 year old stepson imitates my movements and voice intonations I don't feel like he reverse engineered me :-)
