: Hi,

: I program in a small language and have a question about copyright.

: The language has its own database file type and stores the source code to the programs you write in this database.
: The company who owns the language (and copyright) will not give its users the layout/structure of the database fields.
: I have worked out the layout of the fields manually by looking at how the data is stored. This is needed because their development tool is VERY bad and I have written my own development tools.
: If I put this information on my website and my code for the tools that I have written, would this be breaking any laws?

: I would not be charging anyone to download the information, it is all freeware.

: Any ideas?

: Thanks,

: Mark Simmons.
