Let's see....
1) leagally speaking, the EULA is only in power because you click the "I agree" button during installation.

Funny how random strangers click EULAs. I never do.

2) leagally speaking, the only thing making decompiling and recompiling the program with modifications for your own use illeagle is the EULA
3) Regular copyright law (no distribution) still applies

Query: What happens if, before you install the software, before you encounter the EULA in question, you decompile the software, then recompile it without the EULA?
Then they buy another law that says you are a terrorist who can be shot without trial, for even owning a decompiler.
