The licence doesn't make sense to me.

"decompilation prohibited" - but I thought it's written in assembly?

Which means it's not compiled?

Probably standard legal copy. Most if not all proprietary EULAs have something like that. More interestingly, they're invalidated by the laws that permit RE in many countries.

...and on a somewhat related tangent, look at how many appliances have a "do not open/no user-serviceable parts inside" warning.

A purist might prefer to say that it needs to be "assembled" and that "disassembly" is prohibited; but I don't think many people these days would quibble that the assembler -> machine code process isn't "compiling".

Assembly language is still a textual, human-friendly language where you can give memory locations symbolic names, you use mnemonics for the different machine instructions, many assemblers have various forms of macro support, etc. That all gets "assembled" or "compiled" into the machine code.
