Asking is easy :-)

Does the reverse engineer have to get permission? If he does need the blessing 
of the creator of the reverse engineered software/device, then the whole 
interoperability clause would be pointless. (note that I didn't read the 
DMCA, nor that page since disassembling Windows is pointless for me and I do 
not really speak assembler)
