Interesting. I wonder what kinds of applictions people might use this for, seeing as you can do a lot of automated and random stuff using Live itself, especially when you loopback MIDI clips to remote control Live itself.

Props to the Abes for being officially cool about this as well.

Because it is - in a way - a form of reverse engineering. As they also admit on the referenced page. (OK It's a python script, but still...)

And reverse engineering is illegal in non-open source products in my knowledge :?

Actually no:
