LEGO's license doesn't allow reverse engineering of their product.  That,
however, is a clause everyone writes in their licenses. I think I
remember reading somewhere that this clause is invalid, like the old PC
clauses prohibiting you to open up the case.

In addition to this, read the licence again, and tell me whether or not it
can be interpreted to exclude the firmware and ROM image.  Does firmware
fall under the category of software?  Certainly they made it clear that
Plug-Ins fall into that category, but as far as I'm concerned, firmware is
firmware, software is software, and firmware is not software.
