    Your changes can be gpl licensed, similar to how a rom hack can be licensed however you want.

    Read the GPL and what it has to say about derivative works which this undeniably is.

      I’ve been in the open source software world for multiple decades. I am well aware of the gpl and what it has to say about derivative works.

      You seem a little confused however, though I feel like you are just desperately trying to wrangle an angle where you can totes win and you were never wrong. It’s really annoying to get into a conversation online like that.

      Anyway, incase anyone else gets here, this guy is just endlessly wrong. Ignore.

        Pity you haven’t made an effort to prove what you’re saying and seem to be just desperately trying to wrangle an angle where you can totes win.

        I’m not wrong. You cannot just slap the GPL on disassembled proprietary software. That’s a fact. Ask your lawyer.
