| bsp2map <[pakfilefilter/]filefilter> | = convert BSP to MAP | |

Most game companies and/or map authors
probably won't mind using a program like this to decompile their maps and
look at how they're constructed, but distributing their maps or using the
entire or parts of their maps in other maps is certainly not allowed. Legally,
you have no right to decompile maps in which you don't own the copyright.
To quote the Quake2 license agreement:

or alter the Software. The term "Software" includes all elements of the
Software such as data files, images appearing in the Software and screen
displays."
