Hi there,
I was wondering if adding a clause to prevent reverse engineering to the
standard 3-clause BSD license would violate any of the open source
definition tenets.
The additional clause would read something like this:
"Reverse engineering, decompilation, and/or disassembly of software
provided in binary form under this license is prohibited."
I can't really see anything in the Open Source Definition that would forbid
the inclusion of such a clause, but I wanted to check with people with more
experience in the matter than myself.
Thank you in advance.
