                                                             JMJ + OBT

Could someone point me to a book or article which discusses the  
ethics of reverse engineering non-free software? I hope to find some  
guidance rooted in the framework of Christian ethics, but I don't  
know what's out there -- Google is helpful, of course, but this  
listserv seems like an appropriate place to conduct my research.

In particular, I am wondering about the ethics of reverse engineering  
or cloning a proprietary webapp in a "screen-by-screen" fashion.

Thanks for your input and advice!

In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
