@HatkeshiatorTND @SuperDicq @mangeurdenuage You cannot steal code - as making a copy cannot possibly steal anything.

If you've gained a prohibited copy of the source code of proprietary software, using a compiler to compile it could be additional charges for what is deemed unauthorized modification (as you're modifying it from source form into binary from).


There are plenty of proprietary compilers still, but you would have to be insane to use such compilers.

A compiler being proprietary doesn't have any impact on the copyright status of the program it compiles, although if the compiler inserts any runtime libraries into the output, that software can be proprietary.
