Surely you can't redistribute copyrighted material.
- dathinab 5y agoYes, through you might(?) distribute a tool to help people "fix" their thing themself. Like bundling a open source decompiler, recompiler, code to work around decompilation restrictions and a patch into a single binary you can then use to fix the actual binary.
- aleclm 5y agoUsually, to patch a program, a binary patch is enough. Decompiling and recompiling is hard (even that's what we do at rev.ng!) :)
