End you’re not allowed to reverse engineer the editor even though it builds from open source. I wonder how much legal reasoning went into that decision. It might be boilerplate, or it might be necessary for some other part of the contract.

I don’t know. Technically, you can clean-room reverse engineer a GPL binary and your resulting code doesn’t have to be GPL. But you could also just build the open source repo and do that. So I don’t know
