    There's another issue here.  Even if the program in question, when
    executed unmodified, is only useful for unfair purposes -- a
    proposition which is not yet clear -- in the case of free software
    there are other possible uses beyond unmodified execution.  Perhaps it
    can be studied to help learn the principles of reverse engineering, or
    perhaps it can be modified, or pieces of it can be used in a tool
    which is useful for more legitimate purposes.

It must be possible to make a good example which is oriented towards
purposes we consider legitimate.  We should host that program instead.
