Software Fair Use

Software Fair Use is a legal doctrine within copyright law that permits limited use of copyrighted software without the owner’s permission for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research, distinguished by its application to software-specific contexts such as reverse engineering, interoperability, and archival copying under statutory fair use exceptions.
