    Isn't reverse engineering with the tools used in this article disallowed by the license agreement for the game? I know little about law, so who has the trump card here?

  2. Confused: libarc doesn't seem to be GPL by renoX · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Looking at libarc website http://libarc.sourceforge.net/: the license indicated here isn't the GPL..

    So either it's not the same libarc or its license has changed or the website is incorrect or the issue happen in some other file but not in libarc..
