No one talks about "Brain Police" and no one will come and arrest you. If you read my post carefully you will realise that what I am talking about is not the source editing part. Strictly speaking changing a program (even the code) is not illigal if you do it in your own computer and your own copy. The moment you give it to someone else (free or not makes no difference) you breaking the rules. It's exactly the same as in the music case. You can copy your own CD (assuming you have the original to start with) but you cannot distribute it to others. Now from the moment you're in a public forum these kind of discussions are 'dangerous' to say the least.
