Freeware is just that - FREE. u cant modify the code in anyway, all youre alowed to do is use it and distribute it for free.

grr i'm wrong, i don't like being wrong :(
i hope i'm not too wrong in the HSC

Once you get the source code you can "reverse engineer" the source code to find out how a program works.

Grendel i was just being a bit sarcastic, i know u cant decompile
source code.
