I see that Tom Sylla answered your main question.

I probably shouldn't have suggested reverse engineering someone's
BIOS.  I don't know the laws about that, and information acquired this
way must be handled very carefully.  WE have to be especially careful,
because the OGP could be damaged by even false legal claims of us
stealing someone's intellectual property.

In other words, lacking more knowledge, the OGP should avoid even many
legal activities that someone might take issue with, erroneously or
not.
