Actually, no. Even in countries with restrictive legislation (such as USA
and Europe to a lesser extent), interoperability is an exception to
reverse-engineering laws. Otherwise, guess where OpenOffice / StarOffice
would be today.

It may be different if you have licensed a program or its documentation, and
it contained a clause forbidding reverse-engineering, one of those infamous
"Non-Disclosure Agreements": the owner company might sue you.

Keep up the good work,
