Did you ever wonder what these people may think when you ask them for
cooperation (i.e. disclosure of RPC protocols)?
They would say 'Please pay $x,xxx,xxx and sign this NDA, thank you.'
I could almost guarantee that if they could find grounds for prosecuting

reverse engineering their protocols they would (luckily in many

illegal).
Remember, for companies like Microsoft, their 'intellectual property' is
part of the
equation of the worth of the entire company.
