I will gladly "make available" code by a c64 software company called
"MMI" (Magnetic Manipulations Inc.) if anyone wants it... go ahead, sue

Even if there were such a thing as "abandonware", it would CERTAINLY not
be applicable without making a "good faith" effort to find the rightful
owner. That does NOT mean just the yellow pages and Google.
Where was Magnetic Manipulations Inc. incorporated? (THAT is what the Inc
means). Who filed the articles of incorporation?
Don't know? -- then you never had any intent of making a good faith
effort to find the owner, and "abandonware" is merely a euphemism for
theft from those who aren't right there to stop you.
