That is an interesting question. Right now I would say you are breaking the law, because you are offering a pirated version of software, which has been converted, even if it is not for commercial gain. This argument is going on right now in the courts, with the Yanks (sorry guys!) trying to sue Sharman Networks and other countries (like Finland : see article on this site) saying that d/l is OK, but u/l is not.

The chance of any big corporation or legislation trying to sue all these users is another questions altogether. Piracy is illegal whether you are trying to sell it or not.
