Performing static testing on a commercially available executable library can raise legal issues, primarily related to the ownership and licensing of the software. These libraries are often proprietary, and analyzing them without permission may violate software licenses or intellectual property laws. Static testing typically involves analyzing source code, which may not be accessible for such libraries without appropriate permissions.
