You cited the part where I was talking about
routines written in GDL.

As how plots get drawn:
GDL uses the plplot library here (which IDL cannot use as it is under
the GPL). Definitely as far away from reverse engineering (RE) as it
gets.

For me that RE stuff is way overstretched.
If just doing something similar would be illegal RE: What about .net
and mono? What about M$ Office and Openoffice? Unix and Linux? The GNU
command line programs?...
AFAIK a programming language itself cannot be protected anyway. There
are loads of examples of compilers/interpreters for several proprietary
languages. Most popular probably Java. Anotherone popular is Octave.

Cheers,
marc
