Stac is grossly misunderstood and misquoted. By no means does it say that
reverse-engineering is flatly illegal.
I don't have time to go look it up again, but I'm 99% sure that the
judgement against Stac was not for reverse-engineering Windows to prove
that they had been ripped off. I'm 90% sure that it was for using
interfaces MS claimed were proprietary but that Stac had access to through
a previous licensing agreement.
