Does it have a EULA which forbids reverse engineering?  Does anyone
know how much one can learn about it before learning any more
constitutes reverse engineering?

 To "reverse engineer" something is to come to comprehend it, so what a
EULA really does is to forbid comprehension.  For this they charge money?!

   ... but most of all, the Microsoft team work to keep their
   customers ignorant (anything else would be "reverse engineering",
   forbidden by the EULA), because they know that if their customers
   stop being ignorant, they won't need Microsoft anymore.
