Unfortunately the cloudflared software, while the source is available on GitHub, and there are pull requests open and accepted for it, is not under an open source license, and the license it is under does not allow modifications, so any modifications (including the aformentioned pull requests) are contrary to the license and thus copyright law and thus illegal. The issue I filed about this is still waiting for action since October 2021.

Breaking a contract is not illegal. Seems to be a common misconception.

I think the misconception is between civil law and criminal law.
