Wait, you are open sourcing code that you did not write but reverse engineered? It that legal?

  Google vs Oracle seems to say that offering up a compatible api with different internals is legal. Exploiting the signs seems risky though.

    Fujitsu vs IBM also says you can make compatible hardware and release it as well. And of course they lost other, similar cases during the PC Clone era.

  In the absolute no this is not legal, but in practice for a company that has been dead for a while after scamming a lot of people I wouldn't be overly concerned of legal repercussions.

  Yes, legal. But in a parallel universal where it weren't legal, there are no damages in this case.
