It is a historical artifact from the times there was a decompilation service on https://retdec.com. Now that RetDec is open-source, it makes little sense to have the comment there. Even the usefulness of its presence in the past is debatable. Here is a quote from GPL FAQ [1], which I believe (but IANAL) applies to other licenses as well: > Q: Is there some way that I can GPL the output people get from use of my > program? For example, if my program is used to develop hardware designs, can I > require that these designs must be free? > > A: In general this is legally impossible; copyright law does not give you any > say in the use of the output people make from their data using your program. If > the user uses your program to enter or convert her own data, the copyright on > the output belongs to her, not you. More generally, when a program translates > its input into some other form, the copyright status of the output inherits > that of the input it was generated from.
