So i basically reverse engineered some Small 6502 Assembly Code for research as i wanna remake the entire Thing in x86 Assembly and wanted to ask as to would Licnese would be most appliceable to such Cases? >.>
Mostly due to the Fact that Public Domain Code is usealy not Good as depending where you live it can mean anything or can even be illegal from what ive read in some Country? D:
I suppose the best bet would be something like MIT-0 or maybe even LGPL considering im translatating the Code from another Language to a different one? >.>
But im still unsure if that counts a Derivative or what a Translation even can be licensed at all? >.>
Atleast the Copyrighted Assets have to be provided yourself from the Original Program so im in the Clear on that Front but the Code is the scariest Part as itd rather not get into Legal Trouble to be fair :(
I’ve got some skepticism alarms going off on this one.
What exactly does “basically reverse engineered some assembly” mean here? Decompiled to C?
And what do you mean by “remake in assembly”? Like, literally writing assembly by hand? Or compiling C source?
I’m not a lawyer, but my guess is that binary-to-binary translation isn’t enough to strip the license, even if you’re making a pit stop in a higher-level language.
yup basically that as in writing Assembly by Hand :P
Translate 6502 Assembly Code to x86 Assembly Code that in turn Assembles into a Windows 95 Executeable (as im looking to doing some Windows 95 Programming) :P
