Some on freelancer.com asked me...

Hallo.

 

Someone on freelancer.com asked me to decompile some MQL  for him.

Is this legal from the point of view of mql5.com  and/or from the point of view of MQL developers?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

If he got this mql expert from mql5.com market - decompilation will violate market rules. 

https://www.mql5.com/en/market/rules

Section III.9: 

The Buyer has no right to decompile the Product or apply to third parties for the Product decompilation. Attempts to decompile, regardless of the result, will be considered violations of the Rules of the Product use.

Also, I have no idea how this decompilation works, but I have seen a lot of info that compiled mql code is encrypted and highly protected. 

Fun fact: even if you will try to decompile it, violator of the rules will be not you, but your contact person, as he is the product buyer.

I suppose that other MQL code sellers have more or less the same view on decompilation.

Just wanted to be on the safe side.
