For comparison, the Finnish law says,

"Joka on laillisesti hankkinut tietokoneohjelman, saa valmistaa ohjelmasta
sellaiset kappaleet ja tehdä ohjelmaan sellaisia muutoksia, jotka ovat
tarpeen ohjelman käyttämiseksi aiottuun tarkoitukseen. Tämä koskee myös
virheiden korjaamista." (Tekijänoikeuslaki § 25j 1 mom, 446/1995)

unofficially translated by me as:

"He or she who has legally obtained a computer program may make those
copies of or changes to the program that are necessary for using the
program for the intended purpose.  This includes the right to fix defects
in it."

(Apparently this right can be revoked by a contract.)
