Well I haven't seen the product yet, but what I am expecting is not reverse-engineered layouts for the dies of proprietary chips. AFAIK this small operation did not work with clean-rooms and electron microscopes, just painstaking buzzing out of circuits, notation and deduction of values, and analysis of functions to chip pinouts. So a functional schematic created that way should not be any kind of copyright violation. Mind you, the intellectual property speculation mafia have been quite successful at convincing dumb judges and juries that you can patent a passing thought scribbled on a napkin.
