EmoDagda (nprofile…ml42) teto (nprofile…kz2s) Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen (nprofile…5gdn) Decompiling proprietary software does not make free software, as decompiling doesn't result in the source code (there are no comments and the output is extremely hard to decypher) and the resulting software is illegal to distribute, as it's a derivative work of a proprietary binary under a license that says you cannot share it/modify it/understand etc.
The only way to get free software would be to write a free clone from scratch (which has been done in many cases), with insertion of proprietary artwork and music (although free replacements of such can be better than the original), although if the game uses scripting, inserting those scripts instead of replacing them renders the software proprietary.
