Unless I'm mistaken, reverse engineering stands for recreating source code from executable. In this case you chose a wrong target as GNU Go is distributed as source code, there are even no official binaries. > I was wondering if I am allowed to do such a study. Thanks a lot! You are allowed to do everything permitted by the GNU GPL. We might mind certain things on the ``please don't do that'' level, but the only legal barrier is GNU GPL, which is quite permissive anyway.
