Is it legal to disassemble the proprietary VGA BIOS to learn how to
enable a particular VGA chip?
Of course, he (who?) will not copy any bits from the copyrighted code,
he'll just pick up register addresses and values, and its order.
If he would eventually write a code to enable VGA this way,
can we share the resulting code?
