  Decompilation to fix a bug or otherwise allow the software to be used as intended. Not just decompilation for the fun of it or running it on completely unsupported hardware or software. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28809559 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28809559

      On the surface maybe, but > such an exception to the author’s exclusive rights may not be used in a way which prejudices the legitimate interests of the rightholder or which conflicts with a normal exploitation of the program could be interpreted to mean that, especially for anything still being sold (like the retro games sold on Switch), interop for the sake of interop would very likely conflict with Nintendo's legitimate [business] interest.
