Legal Question in Technology Law in California
Third Party Software Laws
Hi I want to develop a third party
software to control a USB device but
they have the following restriction in
their term: ''Unless enforcement is
prohibited by applicable law, you
may not modify, decompile,
disassemble, reverse engineer,
distribute, or copy soft-
ware, firmware, or hardware.''
To develop the software, I would be
required to do some black box
reverse engineering and I would not
need to modify their software,
firmware or hardware.

Re: Third Party Software Laws
I'm not sure what your question is. Are you asking permission? It sounds like you may benefit from a relationship with the hardware manufacturer. You're welcome to call to discuss your proposed plans and what strategies are open (or closed) to you.
