Why this is important (for those uninitiated):

- Ghidra is basically the first real competitor to IDA Pro, the extremely expensive and often pirated state-of-the-art software for reverse engineering. Nothing else has come close to IDA Pro.

- Ghidra is open-source, IDA Pro is not.

- Ghidra has a lot of really cool features that IDA Pro doesn't, such as decompiling binaries to pseudo-C code.

- It's also collaborative, which is interesting because multiple people can reverse engineer the same binary at the same time -- something IDA only got VERY recently.
