    Is it legal to decompile an SWF that is licensed under Apache 2.0 with no additional terms?

    Is it legal to decompile an SWF that is licensed under Apache 2.0 with no additional terms? I'm also planning on modifying and using for commercial purposes. My understanding is that Apache License 2.0 allows for modification of source and object, but I'm not sure if I can convert from object to source. Thanks.

    Check with the software publisher. Typically de-compiling is viewed as unethical and may constitute copyright or patent infringement. If the project was compiled under and open source license, most of these licenses require the publisher to make the source code available freely.
