A brief internet search resulted in me reading an article stating that,
in the USA at least, the EULA supersedes the user's legal allowance for
reverse engineering (case cited in the article) the software.

See;
<https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/60/is-reverse-engineering-and-using-parts-of-a-closed-source-application-legal>

So, when a person agrees to the terms of the EULA, they waive their
legal right to reverse engineer.  If you wish to NOT waive your rights,
then you don't accept the EULA.  Of course you then won't be able to
install, never mind use, the software.  Catch-22.
