Just to add to this: the relevant case law seems to be Bowers v. Baystate Technologies [1], which held that EULA clauses prohibiting reverse engineering are enforceable. I personally think this is a terrible decision, since it also prevents a lot of good uses of reverse engineering (see some examples, like fighting censorship and diagnosing software vulnerabilities, in a recent paper of mine [2]).
