Yes, it's allowed to change metadata resources in that sfx file.

Kind reminder

You can change version, description and icon of any resource editor. AFTER creating SFX only.

I'm compiling the code and creating the 64 bit version myself.
Can I change icon version and description in the source code?
Can I change the copyright field in the code, is it legal?

thanks,

[Igor Pavlov]

Source code of sfx modules is included also to LZMA SDK.
LZMA SDK is "public domain".
So you are allowed to change that code and icons without thinking about GNU LGPL things.

Can we change the copyright field? so our .exe file will show copyright of our company?

[Igor Pavlov]

Yes, you can change it in code for sfx modules.

Can you send it by mail?
Our legal department request it via mail.

Thank you

Put them on the table, the text of the license and advised not to take people's heads. It is they who create the supreme command of the form that without them the work will fall. In place of your boss I would have sped up this bunch of idlers to hell and blacklisted. :)

There is no need for additional confirmation for changes in "public domain" code.
Download LZMA SDK code and use / change that code.
