Two notes:
First, there is no notice of license. The comment regarding "forced
extraction" is merely a code comment. It doesn't place any burden on
the user for distributing or using the software.
Secondly, regarding reverse engineering being illegal in some places...
So is including patented code. :) Since we can't bend to every
nation's laws (no manpower plus this would essentially mean ALL
software would be unusable) I say unless it's prosecuted it's
irrelevant.
