[plug] Reverse engineering software to become "legal"

[David Campbell]

It appears that the federal government is going to change the 
copyright legislation to "legalise reverse engineering" of software 
code! (*gasp, shock, horror*, this is the sort of thing that MS tries 
to stamp out)

Anyone got any idea why they would do this?
