> Connectix's successful appeal maintained that the direct disassembly and observation of proprietary code was necessary because there was no other way to determine its behavior. If it is the disassembled code, nothing will happen. There are no damages to award, so there's no reason that this would even make it into court. If it did go to court (as part of a larger case), the artifact decompiled would be proprietary. However it would be impossible to prove (and difficult to convince anyone) that the code was directly from that artifact.
