[sane-devel] Is reverse engineering legal ?

[Greg]

I guess depends which countries law you are applying.

Disclaimer: I AM NOT A LAWYER...

but

 From what I have had a chance to read about reverse engineering
in U.S.  it would appear that this type of reverse engineering
should be considered legal.

It is covered under fair use clause.
