Here at Georgia Tech, anyone who is given an account on the Unix(tm....giggle)
system/systems has been required to sign a non-disclosure license because
the source has been on the systems. The license specified that everyone who
was to have access to this stuff has got to sign their firstborn male child
away or look at one heck of a lawsuit (I assume).

I have not heard that the same is required of binary-only licensees(sp?)
which makes me wonder if reverse-engineering would be legal in that case.
I do not know of any binary-only folks who require non-disclosure licenses.
