Re: Great Tool - IKEA Models
Tomaso, please don't play this dangerous game: this way of doing is the best way to kill free software because their authors like me can't afford to be involved in legal proceedings with copyrights owners.
What you suggest is not data mining, it's reverse engineering and Ikea license is really clear about this:
[...]
You may not:
[...]
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, amend, modify, develop, translate, attempt to access any source code of software or create any derivative works (except as explicitly permitted above) from the Tool - or any material included therein;
- use any part of the Tool or any material included therein separated from the remainder of the Tool, either on a stand alone-basis or in conjunction with any software or data not forming part of the Tool;
[...]
