Ok. This is nonsense. Show me where the EULA says you can't post it. 

I have never seen that in any EULA and I have read every one of them from Microsoft. 

Please post proof.

Unless the original post was a joke. I certainly hope so. :)

Let's do our best to not spread information if we can avoid it.

Whew!  Who would have thought?

So I'm looking at an old System32 EULA that happened to be on a
computer I was given before I overwrote it with Linux.  I can't
immediately find such a prohibition, but I could easily be overlooking
it.  Do you have a clue what I should be looking for?

Incidentally, here's the reverse engineering clause from this EULA:

 4. LIMITATIONS ON REVERSE ENGINEERING,
    DECOMPILATION, AND DISASSEMBLY.
    You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the
    SOFTWARE, except and only to the extent that such activity
    is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding
    this limitation.

Jason, how does this compare with what you find attached to the
software that you acquired at MS Heroes?

    No one should ever be made to feel guilty for knowing too much.
