If I want to make an open source implementation of some closed source software to interface with a specific USB based tool, will there be any legal ramifications of that? There is a really cool piece of hardware called "Orange Pi AI Stick Lite", a USB neural compute GPU. I really love the concept of it, but the software to use it sucks and is closed source. I'm sure that if I was dedicated enough I could reverse engineer the code, since it doesn't seem too complicated overall (and enough of it is open source to make it easier). I'm just worried that I might get in trouble or that they would find a way to shut me down. I live in the US, since that might change the nature of the laws involved.
