EU high court ruled that you are free to decompile software to fix bugs etc. Also, in Poland at least, it used to be legal to even crack software that you own for the purpose of making backup copies etc (not sure how it is now) https://www.traple.pl/legalna-dekompilacja-programu-komputerowego-na-potrzeby-naprawy-bledow-przesadzona-przed-ts-ue-sprawa-top-system-c-13-20/ https://www.traple.pl/legalna-dekompilacja-programu-komputer...
