I think this sentence was missing a NOT: If, as some claim and RSA disputes, the code was reverse-engineered from object files in off-the-shelf software, then the law was probably broken - unless RSA and other vendors decide to test the strength of highly questionable and likely unenforceable shrink-wrap licenses that try to prohibit disassembly/decompilation. (But I don't have the DDJ to verify this)
