Occasionally, a company will go ahead and explicitly move stuff to public
domain. Unfortunately, many will never do that, and a significant part of
what is available to us relies on the owner of the copyright not giving a
shit. There is a popular [FALSE] myth that "abandonware" automagically
becomes public domain.
But if it is TRUE abandonware would you have a copywrite if you have no company?
