I just reread the license that One must agree to before downloading RunUO or the SDK. I see NO MENTION of decompiling in this license. I've said it before, and I'll say it one more time. If you don't want people decompiling your stuff and you want a legal leg to stand you will need to put a clause like that into your license.
And on a separate note. It is never again any law to decompile an application, it's only bad if you distribute that decompiled source to others.
.NET is interesting in this regard too, in that much of a the "Interesting" stuff you can get to without even decompiling, it's all stored in MetaData, as plain text information embedded in the file.
Plus .NET application are never really compiled in the traditional until you execute the program. So is it really "decompiling" to reduce a .NET application's EXE into it's IL Code?
