Yes, definitely. This is ultimately a question for a lawyer. Should I 
get a request from authenticatable request from the actual rights 
holder, I will, of course, remove my disassembly. Given the length of 
time it has been up, however, I don't expect any action to materialize. 
(Reconstructed source code with comments reading like a novel may 
actually be sufficiently creative to avoid tripping on copyright 
liability in light of that license since it's obviously not the original 
source code. It gets complicated.)
