There's another issue here. Even if the program in question, when executed unmodified, is only useful for unfair purposes -- a proposition which is not yet clear -- in the case of free software there are other possible uses beyond unmodified execution. Perhaps it can be studied to help learn the principles of reverse engineering, or perhaps it can be modified, or pieces of it can be used in a tool which is useful for more legitimate purposes. Mark
