Yes. A silly example I encountered just yesterday, looking for usermodehelper invocation examples: https://gist.github.com/muratdemirtas/31b46c459c9c2e285ed71b...

i don't see how that's illegal - it's only a crime if you install it on somebody's computer to steal their information. knives aren't illegal.

Yes, it's not literally illegal, otherwise Microsoft would be in even more trouble. I just thought it was amusing.
