What surprises me the most about these decompilation projects is that they post the whole decompiled code instead of just a list of directives to feed into a given (hopefully open source) decompiler.

I used to be somewhat active on a ROM hacking message board, and there were rules about how users could share their modifications. Users had to share a patch. Uploading or linking to prepatched or original binaries was prohibited, and moderators would routinely intervene and remove them. Having been exposed to such measures to avoid action from copyright holders in the past, I just don't understand why it is so popular to just post the code openly.
