Reverse-Engineering an Application without EULA
<p>The place where I work have recently installed a tool on our computer systems. However there are a few things that I don't quite like about the tool and would like to improve them. However I am wondering if this possible?</p>

<p>I'd like to point out a couple of important things:</p>

<ul>
<li>The software came pre-installed. I didn't install it and never agreed to any EULA</li>
<li>I have made reasonable effort to find the EULA - by downloading the setup system and also checking the site, however I could not find the EULA anywhere.</li>
</ul>

<p>Does this mean that I can reverse-engineer the application to fit my needs better? I don't plan on making any commercial benefit from this or re-distribute it as my own. However I do plan on passing the fixed code to the others at work if it will also serve of help to them.</p>
